Opinion
July 6, 1998
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Katz, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant contends that this matter should be remitted for a reconstruction hearing to determine whether an unrecorded. colloquy, which took place in his absence, amounted to a preliminary Sandoval conference and whether the court participated in any informal Sandoval discussions in his absence. We decline to order a reconstruction hearing, as nothing in the record suggests that Sandoval proceedings were held outside the defendant's presence ( see, e.g., People v. Lovacco, 234 A.D.2d 55; see also, People v. Archibald, 211 A.D.2d 451).
Rosenblatt, J. P., O'Brien, Krausman and Goldstein, JJ., concur.
