Ordered that the judgments are affirmed.
After a full Batson hearing, the Supreme Court concluded that the "defendants' prima facie case of purposeful discrimination in jury selection was sufficiently rebutted by the prosecutor's explanations as to why he peremptorily challenged the potential black jurors at issue", and that "the prosecutor has sufficiently rebutted the defendant's prima facie showing of discriminatory intent by proffering non-pretectual [sic] race-neutral reasons for his exercise of peremptory challenges as to the jurors at issue". It is well settled that resolution of this issue by the trial court is entitled to great deference (see, People v Hernandez, 75 N.Y.2d 350, affd 500 U.S. 352; People v. Mondello, 191 A.D.2d 462; People v. Green, 181 A.D.2d 693), and we find no basis, on this record, to interfere with the trial court's determination (see, People v. Mondello, supra; People v. Jones, 204 A.D.2d 485).
We have examined the defendants' remaining argument and find it to be without merit (see, People v. Hernandez, supra, at 357; see, United States v. Clemons, 941 F.2d 321, 323-324). Mangano, P.J., Sullivan, Thompson and Ritter, JJ., concur.
