THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. DERRICK SUTTON, Appellant.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's contention that he was unduly prejudiced by comments made by the prosecutor in his summation is without merit. "Although several of the prosecutor's remarks were better left unsaid", such remarks did not operate to deprive the defendant of a fair trial (People v. Gonzalez, 102 A.D.2d 895). In any event, in light of the overwhelming evidence of the defendant's guilt, any error committed must be deemed harmless (see, People v. Crimmins, 36 N.Y.2d 230; People v. Schramm, 92 A.D.2d 905).

We find the defendant's remaining contentions to be either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit. Lawrence, J.P., Eiber, Spatt and Sullivan, JJ., concur.
