THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. TERRY EVANS, Appellant.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

We do not agree with the defendant's contention that he was deprived of a fair trial by the complainant's inadvertent mention of looking at "pictures". The court's prompt and complete instruction to the jury to disregard the testimony was sufficient to cure the error (see, e.g., People v Berg, 59 N.Y.2d 294, 299-300), particularly in view of the complainant's unequivocal identification of the defendant as her attacker.

We find the defendant's remaining contention to be without merit. Bracken, J.P., Kunzeman, Spatt and Harwood, JJ., concur.
