Opinion
June 8, 1993
Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Leslie Crocker Snyder, J.).
Contrary to defendant's argument, the trial court properly relied upon the competency examinations conducted shortly before trial, as well as its own observations of defendant, in denying trial counsel's mid-trial application for an additional competency examination (see, People v. Kestin, 134 A.D.2d 453, lv dismissed 73 N.Y.2d 923). The record supports the trial court's determination that defendant was not an incompetent witness (see, People v. Parks, 41 N.Y.2d 36, 46).
We have reviewed defendant's additional arguments and find them to be without merit.
