People v. Nero

Full title: THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. ALLEN NERO, Appellant

Court: Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department

Date published: Jun 5, 1997

240 A.D.2d 189 (N.Y. App. Div. 1997)

658 N.Y.S.2d 869

Opinion

June 5, 1997

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Patricia Williams, J.).

Since defendant failed to make a timely objection to the court's clear directive, his argument that he was deprived of his right to a public trial when the trial court locked the courtroom doors during summation is unpreserved for review ( see, People v Narayan, 54 N.Y.2d 106, 112), and we decline to review it in the interest of justice.

Concur — Wallach, J.P., Rubin, Williams and Andrias, JJ.
