THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. ROBERTO COTTO, Appellant.

Defense counsel's objection to a question asked of one of the officers concerning defendant's response, if any, to a question as to whether defendant possessed a valid license for the weapon was sustained, and curative instructions issued. The curative instructions, together with the overwhelming evidence of guilt, rendered defendant's response harmless (People v. Crimmins, 36 N.Y.2d 230).

Nor is there merit to defendant's contention that the officers' inconsistent testimony rendered their testimony incredible as a matter of law. These inconsistencies were for the jury to resolve (People v. Mosley, 112 A.D.2d 812, affd 67 N.Y.2d 985).

Concur — Murphy, P.J., Milonas, Ellerin, Ross and Kassal, JJ.
