Opinion
March 11, 1985
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Aiello, J.).
Judgment affirmed.
The defendant was not deprived of a fair trial by misconduct on the part of the prosecutor during her cross-examination of the defendant. Although the prosecutor improperly questioned the defendant about her pretrial silence and attempted to inquire about her communications with her attorney, the trial court promptly sustained counsel's objections and issued immediate curative instructions which were sufficient to dispel whatever prejudicial effect such questions may have had ( People v. Arce, 42 N.Y.2d 179; see, People v. Santiago, 52 N.Y.2d 865; People v Jalah, 107 A.D.2d 762). We have considered defendant's remaining contention and find it to be without merit. Mollen, P.J., Titone, Lazer and Thompson, JJ., concur.
