People v. Garcia

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Apr 28, 1997
238 A.D.2d 605 (N.Y. App. Div. 1997)

Opinion

April 28, 1997


Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Eng, J.), rendered January 12, 1995, convicting him of criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree (two counts), upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

Contrary to the defendant's contention, the Supreme Court did not err in denying him a for-cause challenge to a prospective juror ( see, CPL 270.20[b]; People v. Williams, 63 N.Y.2d 882; People v. Hernandez, 222 A.D.2d 696). Nor was the defendant's sentence excessive ( see, People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80).

The defendant's remaining contentions are either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit. Miller, J.P., Joy, Goldstein and Florio, JJ., concur.
