STATE OF N.Y. v. NARVAEZ

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The trial court did not improvidently exercise its discretion in denying the defendant's challenge for cause to a prospective juror, whose former relative was the victim of sexual abuse, since the prospective juror gave an unequivocal assurance that she could be fair and impartial ( see People v Arnold, 96 NY2d 358, 363; People v Nowlin, 297 AD2d 554; People v Cherry, 286 AD2d 913).

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