People v. Castellano

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Jun 11, 2001
284 A.D.2d 406 (N.Y. App. Div. 2001)

Opinion

Argued April 24, 2001

June 11, 2001

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Knipel, J.), rendered February 27, 1998, convicting him of aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle in the first degree and criminal possession of stolen property in the fourth degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Lynn W. L. Fahey, New York, N.Y. (Paul Skip Laisure of counsel), for appellant.

Charles J. Hynes, District Attorney, Brooklyn, N.Y. (Leonard Joblove and Jane S. Meyers of counsel), for respondent.

Before: DAVID S. RITTER, J.P., GABRIEL M. KRAUSMAN, HOWARD MILLER, NANCY E. SMITH, JJ.


ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's challenge to the admission of evidence regarding an uncharged crime is unpreserved for appellate review (see, CPL 470.05). In any event, any error in admitting this evidence was harmless of light of the overwhelming evidence of the defendant's guilt (see, People v. Crimmins, 36 N.Y.2d 230; People v. Castro, 261 A.D.2d 553; People v. Davis, 259 A.D.2d 706; People v. Lunsford, 244 A.D.2d 507).

The defendant's remaining contention is without merit.
