THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v WAYNE THOMPSON, Appellant.

Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Second Department, New York

895 N.Y.S.2d 148; 70 A.D.3d 866

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Blumenfeld, J.), rendered July 31, 2006, convicting him of burglary in the second degree and burglary in the third degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

Contrary to the defendant‘s contention, he was not denied his right to a speedy trial (see CPL 30.30;

;
;
).

Contrary to the defendant‘s contention, his right to confrontation (see US Const 6th Amend) was not violated by the admission into evidence of reports generated by two private laboratories, each of which consisted of a DNA profile developed from blood samples extracted from the crime scenes. These reports were not “testimonial” (

), because they “consisted of merely machine-generated graphs” and raw data (
). The reports contained no conclusions, interpretations, comparisons, or subjective analyses (
). Contrary to the defendant‘s contention, the People were not required to present the testimony of each technician who actually developed the reports, as they “would not have been able to offer any testimony other than how they performed certain procedures” (
). They did not perform any analyses of the DNA samples involved in this case, and played no role in linking the defendant‘s DNA to the profiles developed from the samples extracted from the crime scene (compare
).

The People‘s delay in providing Rosario material (see

, cert denied
) does not warrant reversal of the defendant‘s conviction as there is no showing that the defendant suffered any actual prejudice from the delay (see CPL 240.75;
). When this material came to light, under the circumstances presented here, the trial court providently exercised its discretion in affording the defendant the opportunity to review the material and recall the relevant witness to cross-examine him concerning this material (see
).

The defendant did not preserve for appellate review his contention that the People failed to present legally sufficient evidence establishing his intent to commit burglary (see CPL 470.05 [2];

). In any event, viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the People (see
), we find that it was legally sufficient to establish the defendant‘s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. The defendant‘s contention that the verdict was repugnant is unpreserved for appellate review and, in any event, is without merit (see
).

The defendant‘s remaining contentions are without merit.
