THE PEOPLE, ETC., respondent, v. RAYMOND WALLACE, appellant.

ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's challenges to prospective jurors for cause were properly denied by the trial court because the jurors gave unequivocal assurances that they could set aside any bias and render an impartial verdict based upon the evidence (see People v. Johnson, 94 N.Y.2d 600).

The defendant's contentions that the People failed to timely turn over Rosario material (see People v. Rosario, 9 N.Y.2d 286, cert denied 386 U.S. 866) are either unpreserved for appellate review because he failed to request any relief, or without merit (see People v. Soyouzov, 235 A.D.2d 439; People v. Marchuk, 235 A.D.2d 434; People v. Swinson, 227 A.D.2d 508). In addition, the defendant's contention that a sanction is warranted because the police department destroyed an audio recording of a 911 emergency call is without merit. There was no wrongdoing on the part of the People. The recording was destroyed before the defendant's request, a "sprint report" of the 911 call was provided to the defendant, and the defendant failed to allege any prejudice (see People v. Green, 244 A.D.2d 423; People v. Diggs, 185 A.D.2d 990).

The sentence imposed was not excessive (see People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80).

The defendant's remaining contentions are without merit.

SMITH, J.P., KRAUSMAN, SCHMIDT and COZIER, JJ., concur.
