Keiser, 38 A.D.3d 1254, 1254, 833 N.Y.S.2d 779, lv. denied 9 N.Y.3d 877, 842 N.Y.S.2d 789, 874 N.E.2d 756, reconsideration denied 9 N.Y.3d 991, 848 N.Y.S.2d 609, 878 N.E.2d 1025, quoting People v. Lopez, 6 N.Y.3d 248, 255, 811 N.Y.S.2d 623, 844 N.E.2d 1145).
It is hereby ORDERED that the judgment so appealed from is unanimously affirmed.
