THE PEOPLE, etc., respondent, v. MICHAEL WOODS, appellant.

DECISION ORDER

ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's sole contention on appeal is that certain comments made during the prosecutor's summation constitute reversible error. However, the defendant failed to preserve for appellate review his arguments regarding the prosecutor's summation. He either did not make a specific and timely objection, or made no request for further curative instructions and no timely motion for a mistrial (see People v. Heide, 84 N.Y.2d 943; People v. Nuccie, 57 N.Y.2d 818; People v. Robinson, 281 A.D.2d 564) . In any event, any alleged error was harmless in light of the overwhelming evidence of the defendant's guilt (see People v. Crimmins, 36 N.Y.2d 230; People v. Stith, 291 A.D.2d 576).

GOLDSTEIN, J.P., McGINITY, ADAMS and TOWNES, JJ., concur.
