THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. JOHN S. REARDON, Appellant.

Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: Defendant's second trial was not barred by the double jeopardy clauses of either the Federal (US Const 5th Amend) or State Constitutions (N.Y. Const, art I, § 6). Where the defendant either requests a mistrial or consents to its declaration, the double jeopardy clauses do not ordinarily bar a second trial (People v. Ferguson, 67 N.Y.2d 383, 388; see, e.g., United States v. Scott, 437 U.S. 82, 93). There is no dispute that defendant requested the mistrial during the first trial. We find no support for defendant's claim that the mistrial motion was necessitated by a deliberate intent on the part of the prosecution to provoke a mistrial (see, Oregon v. Kennedy, 456 U.S. 667). We have reviewed the other claims of error raised on appeal and find them to be without merit.
