People v. Valdez

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Jun 29, 1987
131 A.D.2d 898 (N.Y. App. Div. 1987)

Opinion

June 29, 1987

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Balbach, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant contends that certain comments which were made by the prosecutor during summation deprived him of a fair trial. However, we find that these comments did not cause substantial prejudice to the defendant (see, People v Galloway, 54 N.Y.2d 396; People v Roopchand, 107 A.D.2d 35, affd 65 N.Y.2d 837). In any event, any impropriety in the summation was cured by the prompt action which was taken by the trial court (see, People v Berkman, 124 A.D.2d 590, lv denied 69 N.Y.2d 824).

We have considered the defendant's remaining contentions, including those raised in his supplemental pro se brief, and find them to be without merit. Thompson, J.P., Bracken, Lawrence and Harwood, JJ., concur.
