THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. RICHARD ALEXANDRIA, Appellant.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The prosecutrix's summation at trial did not deny the defendant his right to a fair trial (see, People v. Shanis, 36 N.Y.2d 697). Any possible error committed by the prosecutrix in repeating her remarks concerning the slowness of the criminal justice system over the sustained objection of the defendant's counsel was cured by the Trial Judge's prompt curative instructions (see, People v Galloway, 54 N.Y.2d 396). Finally, the prosecutrix's suggestion that the jury consider the complainant's lack of motivation to lie was a proper comment in response to defense counsel's repeated questioning of the complainant's credibility during her closing remarks (see, People v. Torres, 121 A.D.2d 663). Mangano, J.P., Niehoff, Lawrence and Kunzeman, JJ., concur.
