Opinion
May 16, 1988
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Lombardo, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The record fails to substantiate the People's contention that prior to the trial the defendant was furnished with a written statement made by a codefendant to the police. Contrary to the People's contention, a review of the original Supreme Court file indicates that the statement in question was not annexed to their answer to the defendant's omnibus motion, which was filed with the Supreme Court.
However, under the circumstances of this case, we are satisfied that no substantial right of the defendant was prejudiced by any delay in producing this Rosario material (see, People v Rosario, 9 N.Y.2d 286, rearg denied 9 N.Y.2d 908, cert denied 368 U.S. 866, rearg denied 14 N.Y.2d 876, rearg denied 15 N.Y.2d 765). The statement was made available to the defendant's counsel at the trial in time for its effective presentation for the jury's consideration, if he was so advised (see, People v Perez, 65 N.Y.2d 154, 159-160; cf., People v Ranghelle, 69 N.Y.2d 56, 63).
The defendant's other claim of error is not preserved for appellate review and, in any event, is without merit. Bracken, J.P., Lawrence, Kunzeman and Harwood, JJ., concur.
