THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. MICHAEL BROCK, Appellant.

The lost or destroyed bank surveillance videotape and photographs did not constitute Brady material because there was no showing that they were exculpatory and because they never came into possession of the prosecution or police ( see, People v. Alvarez, 70 N.Y.2d 375). In any event, their non-production would not warrant the sanction of dismissal of the indictment, since there was no showing of bad faith or that the videotape or still photographs would have been beneficial to defendant. Furthermore, the photographs did not constitute Rosario material ( People v. Quinones, 228 A.D.2d 796, 798).

Defendant was not deprived of a fair trial by a fleeting reference to his prior incarceration during the People's cross-examination of a defense witness in view of the court's appropriate curative action.

We have considered defendant's remaining contentions and find them to be without merit.

Concur — Sullivan, J.P., Rosenberger, Andrias and Colabella, JJ.
