Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Apr 15, 1996
226 A.D.2d 556 (N.Y. App. Div. 1996)

Opinion

April 15, 1996

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Demarest, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

Contrary to the defendant's contention that he was deprived of his right to be present at sidebar conferences during voir dire ( see, People v. Antommarchi, 80 N.Y.2d 247), the record demonstrated that he knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently executed a waiver of this right ( see, People v. Epps, 37 N.Y.2d 343, cert denied 423 U.S. 999; People v. Bernhardt, 223 A.D.2d 595; People v. Ming Yuen, 222 A.D.2d 613).

The defendant's remaining contentions are either unpreserved for appellate review ( see, CPL 470.05) or without merit. Balletta, J.P., O'Brien, Santucci and Florio, JJ., concur.
