Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: County Court did not err in refusing to dismiss the indictment. The appearance of impropriety resulting from the District Attorney's prior representation of defendant is not, standing alone, a ground for disqualification of a public prosecutor. Rather, "[t]he objector should demonstrate actual prejudice or so substantial a risk thereof as could not be ignored" (Matter of Schumer v. Holtzman, 60 N.Y.2d 46, 55). Defendant failed to demonstrate actual prejudice or so substantial a risk thereof as to require dismissal of the indictment and resubmission by the special prosecutor.
Upon our review of the record, we conclude that the police officer had probable cause to arrest defendant (see, People v McCants, 175 A.D.2d 847).
