People v. Washington

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Jul 2, 2001
285 A.D.2d 482 (N.Y. App. Div. 2001)

Opinion

Argued May 21, 2001.

July 2, 2001.

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (Copertino, J.), rendered May 3, 1999, convicting him of criminal possession of a forged instrument in the second degree and insurance fraud in the second degree (two counts), upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Andrew E. MacAskill, Farmingdale, N.Y., for appellant.

James M. Catterson, Jr., District Attorney, Riverhead, N.Y. (Craig D. Pavlik and Michael Gajdos of counsel), for respondent.

Before: FRED T. SANTUCCI, J.P., GLORIA GOLDSTEIN, HOWARD MILLER, STEPHEN G. CRANE, JJ.


ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.

The trial court properly exercised its discretion in denying the defendant's request for an adjournment to secure the attendance of two additional witnesses. The defendant did not demonstrate due diligence in seeking to secure the attendance of these witnesses (see, People v. Degondea, 269 A.D.2d 243; People v. Queen, 258 A.D.2d 480; People v. Blasini, 253 A.D.2d 886).

The defendant's remaining contention is unpreserved for appellate review and, in any event, without merit.

SANTUCCI, J.P., GOLDSTEIN, H. MILLER and CRANE, JJ., concur.
