People v. Ruggiero

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Jun 29, 1998
251 A.D.2d 685 (N.Y. App. Div. 1998)

Opinion

June 29, 1998

Appeal from the County Court, Nassau County (Cotter, J).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's contention that he was denied the right to be present at a material stage of the trial is not reviewable since he failed to make a sufficient record in this regard ( see, People v. Roman, 217 A.D.2d 473, affd 88 N.Y.2d 18).

In addition, the defendant's contention that the prosecutor's summation improperly changed the theory of the case is unpreserved for appellate review ( see, CPL 470.05) and, in any event, without merit ( see, People v. Turner, 187 A.D.2d 469).

The defendant's remaining contentions are either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit.

Miller, J. P., Thompson, Joy and Florio, JJ., concur.
