People v. Reyes

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Mar 22, 1999
259 A.D.2d 713 (N.Y. App. Div. 1999)

Opinion

March 22, 1999

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Leach, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

Contrary to the defendant's contention on appeal, the record does not reveal that a Batson violation occurred (see, Batson v. Kentucky, 476 U.S. 79). The defendant failed to make a prima facie demonstration that the People impermissibly used their peremptory challenges to strike black venirepersons for racially-discriminatory purposes (see, People v. Allen, 86 N.Y.2d 101; People v. Childress, 81 N.Y.2d 263, 266; see also, People v. Lowe, 234 A.D.2d 564; People v. Penick, 229 A.D.2d 405; People v. Vidal, 212 A.D.2d 553).

The defendant's remaining contentions are without merit.

Ritter, J. P., Altman, Goldstein and McGinity, JJ., concur.
