THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. EDUARDO VASQUEZ, Appellant.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's challenges to various remarks made by the prosecutor during trial and summation are largely unpreserved for appellate review inasmuch as no objections were raised to many of the comments in question (see, People v. Nuccie, 57 N.Y.2d 818). Those comments which were objected to by the defense counsel were for the most part followed by curative instructions, "subsequent to which [the defense counsel] neither asked for further curative instructions nor moved for a mistrial, thereby indicating that the court had sufficiently cured any error to his satisfaction" (People v. Rosario, 195 A.D.2d 577).

In any event, although some of the prosecutor's summation remarks were better left unsaid, any such error was harmless in light of the overwhelming evidence of the defendant's guilt (see, People v. Crimmins, 36 N.Y.2d 230). Pizzuto, J.P., Santucci, Friedmann and Krausman, JJ., concur.
