150 A.D.2d 804 (N.Y. App. Div. 1989)

Opinion

May 30, 1989

Appeal from the County Court, Nassau County (O'Shaughnessy, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

Contrary to the defendant's contention we conclude that the People fully complied with CPL 240.20 (1) (c) by forwarding the two fingerprint reports in their possession prior to trial and by informing defense counsel that the fingerprint evidence was available for inspection at a mutually convenient time. We do not find that the People were required to inform the defendant of the existence of unidentifiable smudges found at the scene (see, People v Murray, 140 A.D.2d 949, lv denied 72 N.Y.2d 960).

We have examined the defendant's remaining contentions and find them to be without merit. Rubin, J.P., Sullivan, Harwood and Balletta, JJ., concur.
