Memorandum: Defendant appeals from a judgment convicting him, upon a jury verdict, of grand larceny in the fourth degree, committed by issuing a bad check (see, Penal Law § 155.05 [2]; § 155.30 [1]). Defendant contends that the evidence is insufficient to establish larceny by bad check, and that County Court’s instructions and supplemental instructions were inadequate.
We conclude that the evidence is sufficient to support the conviction (see, People v Bleakley, 69 NY2d 490, 495). The evidence establishes that defendant obtained delivery of building materials by giving the complainants a $2,000 check as a de
Criminal intent on the part of a drawer of a bad check may be negated by an understanding between a drawer and payee that a check is not to be cashed until the drawer advises the payee that the check is good (see, People v Reynolds, 147 AD2d 961, 961-962, lv denied 74 NY2d 746, citing People v Olans, 264 NY 420). Here, however, defendant’s criminal intent is sufficiently established by proof that defendant wrote the check on a defunct account (see, People v Shimoni, 159 AD2d 659, lv denied 76 NY2d 796) and that he falsely asserted that the check could be cashed within a day or two. We have considered defendant’s remaining contentions and conclude that they are without merit. (Appeal from Judgment of Ontario County Court, Harvey, J. — Grand Larceny, 4th Degree.) Present — Den-man, P. J., Pine, Wesley, Callahan and Boehm, JJ.
