Court of Appeals of the State of New York

393 N.E.2d 1031 (N.Y. 1979)

Opinion

Argued June 5, 1979

Decided July 9, 1979

Appeal from the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the First Judicial Department, THOMAS DICKENS, J.

David N. Goldman for appellant.

Robert M. Morgenthau, District Attorney (Benjamin H. Green and Robert M. Pitler of counsel), for respondent.


MEMORANDUM.

The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed.

The supplemental instructions which the court delivered were essentially neutral and therefore did not seek to coerce a particular juror into accepting a particular view of the facts (see People v Pagan, 45 N.Y.2d 725, 727; People v Carter, 40 N.Y.2d 933, 934). We have examined appellant's other contentions and find them to be without merit.

Chief Judge COOKE and Judges JASEN, GABRIELLI, JONES, WACHTLER, FUCHSBERG and MEYER concur.

Order affirmed in a memorandum.
