Opinion
May 14, 1992
Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Alvin Schlesinger, J.).
The trial court properly exercised its discretion in denying severance of the three robbery counts (properly joinable under CPL 200.20) in the interest of justice, as there was no good cause shown (CPL 200.20). Contrary to defendant's arguments on appeal, the People's evidence regarding each robbery was exceptionally strong, uncomplicated, and easily segregable for purposes of jury consideration (see, e.g., People v. Negron, 166 A.D.2d 165, 166, lv denied 77 N.Y.2d 909).
We have considered defendant's additional claims and find them to be without merit.
