THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. SALVATORE LETIZIA, Appellant.

Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: The statement that the victim gave to the Crime Victims Compensation Board was not Rosario material (see, CPL 240.45 [a]; People v Rosario, 9 N.Y.2d 286) because the transcript of the testimony was not in the possession or control of the prosecution (see, People v Reedy, 70 N.Y.2d 826, 827; see also, People v Bailey, 73 N.Y.2d 812, 813; People v Tissois, 72 N.Y.2d 75).

The testimony of the victim's uncle that the victim told him that defendant had participated in the assault was admissible to refute the inference created by defense counsel that the victim did not make a prompt complaint against defendant (see, People v Alex, 260 N.Y. 425, 428-429).

We have reviewed the other issues raised in defendant's brief and in his supplemental pro se brief and we find them to be without merit.
