Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Carroll, J.), rendered December 18, 1997, convicting him of robbery in the second degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.
M. Sue Wycoff, New York, N.Y. (Allen Fallek of counsel), for appellant.
Charles J. Hynes, District Attorney, Brooklyn, N.Y. (Roseann B. MacKechnie, Sholom J. Twersky, and Melissa P. Eisen of counsel), for respondent.
FRED T. SANTUCCI, J.P., DANIEL W. JOY, SONDRA MILLER, HOWARD MILLER, JJ.
DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
Although certain of the prosecutor's remarks during summation were improper (see, e.g., People v. Mahboubian, 74 N.Y.2d 174 ; People v. Walters, 251 A.D.2d 433 ), they were harmless in light of the overwhelming evidence of the defendant's guilt (see, People v. Crimmins, 36 N.Y.2d 230 ; People v. Walston, 196 A.D.2d 903 ).
The defendant's remaining contentions are without merit.
