THE PEOPLE, ETC., RESPONDENT, v. CESAL VASQUEZ, APPELLANT. (IND. NO. 4646/97)

DECISION ORDER

ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's contention that the cumulative effect of prosecutorial misconduct and judicial error constituted reversible error is unpreserved for appellate review (see, CPL 470.05; People v. Ali, 207 A.D.2d 899). In any event, the comments made by the prosecutor during summation were largely proper responses to the defense counsel's summation, which challenged the credibility of the People's witnesses (see, People v. Dhan, 271 A.D.2d 452). Any prejudice which may have resulted from improper comments was ameliorated by the trial court's curative instructions (see, People v. Ferguson, 82 N.Y.2d 837, 838).

The defendant's remaining contentions do not require reversal.
