OPINION OF THE COURT

Memorandum.

The order of the Appellate ‍‌‌​​​​​‌​‌​​​​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​​‌​‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‍Division should be affirmed.

The supplemental instructions which the court delivered *970 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 NY2d 725, 727; People v Carter, 40 NY2d 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.
