People v. Reynoso

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Third Department
Jan 10, 1991
169 A.D.2d 886 (N.Y. App. Div. 1991)

Opinion

January 10, 1991

Appeal from the County Court of Schenectady County (Harrigan, J.).


We find no error by County Court in its denial of defendant's motion for a mistrial after a witness testified regarding the circumstances of a prior arrest of defendant on another charge. The court immediately gave curative instructions which were sufficient to minimize any prejudice defendant may have suffered as a result of the testimony (see, People v Young, 48 N.Y.2d 995; People v Banks, 130 A.D.2d 498, lv denied 70 N.Y.2d 709). Accordingly, defendant's contention that a new trial is warranted is rejected.

Judgment affirmed. Mahoney, P.J., Casey, Weiss, Yesawich, Jr., and Levine, JJ., concur.
