People v. Provenzano

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Oct 10, 1989
154 A.D.2d 486 (N.Y. App. Div. 1989)

Opinion

October 10, 1989

Appeal from the County Court, Nassau County (Delin, J.).


Ordered that the judgments are affirmed.

Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution (see, People v Contes, 60 N.Y.2d 620), we find that it was legally sufficient to establish the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

In addition, we conclude that the trial court did not improvidently exercise its discretion in denying the defendant's application for a severance since "[t]he defendant failed to make a * * * showing that he would be unduly and genuinely prejudiced by the joint trial" (People v Telford, 134 A.D.2d 632; People v Cunningham, 110 A.D.2d 708). Moreover, the record does not indicate that the failure to sever resulted in an injustice or impairment of the defendant's rights (see, People v Lopez, 68 N.Y.2d 683; People v Cruz, 66 N.Y.2d 61, 72; People v Payne, 35 N.Y.2d 22).

The defendant's claim with respect to the People's delay in producing Rosario material is unpreserved for appellate review since he never moved for a mistrial on this ground (see, CPL 470.05). In any event, the record reveals that the defendant was not substantially prejudiced by the delay (see, People v Ranghelle, 69 N.Y.2d 56, 63) inasmuch as the material was produced before defense counsel examined the witness and counsel did not seek an adjournment (see, People v Barreto, 143 A.D.2d 920; People v Fridella, 126 A.D.2d 561).

We have examined the defendant's remaining contentions and find them to be without merit. Mangano, J.P., Bracken, Kunzeman and Harwood, JJ., concur.
