ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
The Supreme Court providently exercised its discretion in denying the defendant's motion for a mistrial (see, People v. Ortiz, 54 N.Y.2d 288).
Any potential prejudice to the defendant that might have arisen from the detective's brief testimony relating to an uncharged crime was alleviated when the court gave a prompt curative instruction (see, People v. Biggs, 280 A.D.2d 484, lv denied N.Y.2d [Apr. 16, 2001]; People v. Vincent, 250 A.D.2d 787).
