THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. DAVID JENKINS, Appellant.

Judgment and amended judgment affirmed.

The prosecutor's inferential bolstering was error (see, People v Holt, 67 N.Y.2d 819; People v Johnson, 57 N.Y.2d 969, 970), but the trial court's immediate curative instructions were sufficient to dispel whatever prejudicial effect this testimony may have had (see, People v Jalah, 107 A.D.2d 762).

The prosecution witness's allusion to the fact that the defendant was a probationer was also error, but, in light of the overwhelming evidence of the defendant's guilt, this error was harmless (see, People v Crimmins, 36 N.Y.2d 230).

The defendant's other contentions are either unpreserved (see, People v Medina, 53 N.Y.2d 951, 953), or without merit (see, People v Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80). Weinstein, J.P., Niehoff, Lawrence and Kooper, JJ., concur.
