THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. ANTHONY ROBINSON, Appellant.

Defendant's request for new counsel was properly denied for failure to show good cause for a substitution (see, People v Sawyer, 57 N.Y.2d 12, 18-19, cert denied 459 U.S. 1178). Defendant's claim that he was denied a fair trial by the prosecutor's comments during summation vouching for the credibility of the People's witnesses is not preserved for appellate review as a matter of law (see, People v Nuccie, 57 N.Y.2d 818, 819), and, in any event, not persuasive in view of defense summation comments attacking one prosecutor witness for having a motive to lie and accusing the police of having conspired to frame defendant (see, People v Emphram, 179 A.D.2d 402, 403, lv denied 79 N.Y.2d 947).

Concur — Carro, J.P., Kupferman, Asch, Nardelli and Williams, JJ.
