People v. Williams

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Apr 26, 1999
260 A.D.2d 651 (N.Y. App. Div. 1999)

Opinion

April 26, 1999

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Lipp, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's Batson claim is unpreserved for appellate review, as the defense counsel did not object when the court proposed a solution to both his Batson claim and the prosecutor's reverse Batson claim (see, People v. Rosado, 166 A.D.2d 544, 545). In any event, even if this Court were inclined to review the issue in the exercise of our interest of justice jurisdiction, the incompleteness of the record precludes this Court from determining whether a prima facie showing of discrimination was made out (see, e.g., People v. Holland, 179 A.D.2d 822, 824).

The sentence imposed was not excessive (see, People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80).

The defendant's remaining contentions are without merit.

Mangano, P. J., H. Miller, Feuerstein, Schmidt and Smith, JJ., concur.
