542 N.Y.S.2d 512 | N.Y. App. Div. | 1996
Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Michael Obús, J.), rendered May 26, 1993, convicting defendant, after a jury trial, of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree and criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree, and sentencing him, as a second felony offender, to concurrent terms of 44/2 to 9 years, and order of the same court and Justice entered September 13, 1995, denying defendant’s motion pursuant to CPL 440.10 to vacate the judgment, unanimously affirmed.
The court’s Sandoval ruling reflected an appropriate compromise and did not constitute an improvident exercise of discretion.
Defendant was not deprived of a fair trial by delayed delivery of allegedly exculpatory material, as defendant had meaningful opportunity to use the material as evidence in the case (see, People v Cortijo, 70 NY2d 868). His claim that he was prejudiced by the timing of the disclosure rests entirely on speculation.
Following a hearing regarding defendant’s claim of a Rosario violation, the hearing court properly determined, based upon the testimony of the parole officer that she did not receive information from any prosecution witness who testified at trial, that the documents did not constitute Rosario material (People v Woodside, 204 AD2d 168, lv denied 84 NY2d 873). Concur— Murphy, P. J., Sullivan, Rosenberger, Nardelli and Tom, JJ.
