Opinion
MEMORANDUM:We previously held this case, reserved decision, and remitted the matter to Supreme Court to decide those parts of defendant's pretrial motion seeking inspection of the grand jury minutes and dismissal of the indictment on the grounds that the evidence before the grand jury was legally insufficient and the grand jury proceeding was defective (People v. Blair, 121 A.D.3d 1570, 1571–1572, 994 N.Y.S.2d 215 ). In that prior decision, we rejected defendant's remaining contentions. Upon remittal, the court denied the above-mentioned parts of defendant's motion. Defendant raises no contentions with respect to that denial and has thus abandoned any such contentions (see People v. Bridgeland, 19 A.D.3d 1122, 1123, 796 N.Y.S.2d 768 ; People v. Jones, 2 A.D.3d 1397, 1399, 768 N.Y.S.2d 881, lv. denied 2 N.Y.3d 742, 778 N.Y.S.2d 467, 810 N.E.2d 920 ), and we therefore affirm the judgment.
It is hereby ORDERED that the judgment so appealed from is unanimously affirmed.
