DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the judgment and resentence are affirmed.
The defendant's bare assertion that the prosecutor used a disproportionate number of peremptory challenges to exclude black individuals from the jury was insufficient to make a prima facie showing of discrimination under Batson (see, Batson v. Kentucky, 476 U.S. 79; People v. Jenkins, 84 N.Y.2d 1001, 1003; People v. Childress, 81 N.Y.2d 263, 266; People v. Williams, 253 A.D.2d 901; People v. Gray, 243 A.D.2d 648).
