People v. Cava-Burgos

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Apr 27, 1992
182 A.D.2d 826 (N.Y. App. Div. 1992)

Opinion

April 27, 1992

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


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant failed to preserve for appellate review his contention that the two main prosecution witnesses were accomplices whose testimony required corroboration (see, CPL 470.05; People v Woodham, 158 A.D.2d 494, 495; People v Mayo, 136 A.D.2d 748; People v Graham, 111 A.D.2d 831), and, in any event, the claim is without merit. The witnesses did not take part in conduct that constituted the crimes charged or any element thereof (see, CPL 60.22; People v Cobos, 57 N.Y.2d 798, 801).

We have considered the defendant's remaining contentions and find them to be without merit. Eiber, J.P., O'Brien, Copertino and Pizzuto, JJ., concur.
