Judgment affirmed.
On the present record, it cannot be concluded that the Trial Justice unduly or improperly interjected himself into the proceedings or displayed hostility or bias prejudicial to defendant. Indeed, some of the actions of the court complained of by defendant actually resulted in rulings favorable to him. Viewing the record as a whole and closely examining the specific claims raised by defendant, the record clearly indicates that the court maintained an unbiased and impartial demeanor at trial and, when it did inject itself into the fact-finding process, it did so in the proper exercise of its supervisory function (see, e.g., People v. Jamison, 47 N.Y.2d 882, 884; People v. De Jesus, 42 N.Y.2d 519, 523).
We have examined defendant's remaining contentions and find them to be without merit. Mollen, P.J., Thompson, Rubin and Kunzeman, JJ., concur.
