People v. Vidal

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Dec 9, 1996
234 A.D.2d 403 (N.Y. App. Div. 1996)

Opinion

December 9, 1996.

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Ferdinand, J.), rendered February 22, 1995, convicting him of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence. Justice O'Brien has been substituted for the late Justice Hart ( see, 22 NYCRR 670.1 [c]).

Before: Miller, J.P., O'Brien, Altman and Goldstein, JJ.


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's contention that the court's Sandoval ruling was erroneous is largely unpreserved for appellate review ( see, CPL 470.05), and, in any event, is without merit ( see, People v Walker, 83 NY2d 455, 460-462; People v Carr, 229 AD2d 446; People v Ingram, 205 AD2d 801; People v McFarlane, 205 AD2d 447; People v Cowan, 193 AD2d 753; People v Alexander, 176 AD2d 947; People v Boyd, 150 AD2d 786; People v Magee, 126 AD2d 573). Nor was the defendant prejudiced by the late disclosure of the chemist's notes ( see, People v Thomas, 177 AD2d 728; People v Provenzano, 154 AD2d 486; People v Barreto, 143 AD2d 920).

The sentence was not excessive ( see, People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80).

The defendant's remaining contentions are either unpreserved for appellate review, without merit, or relate to harmless error.
