Judgment, Supreme Court, Bronx County, rendered on June 19, 1975, convicting the defendant after a trial by jury of manslaughter in the first degree, unanimously affirmed. We do not find any error in the denial by the trial court of the defendant's motion to interpose a defense of mental disease or defect after 11 jurors had been sworn. The defense never served a written notice required by CPL 250.10 and there was no abuse of discretion by the trial court in denying defendant's motion to extend the time to serve and file such notice during trial. We have also considered the contention of defendant that the trial court should not have allowed the prosecutor to refer to remarks made by the deceased and the Family Court Judge in a prior proceeding, and we have considered the further contention of the defendant that the trial court should not have directed that the defendant not discuss the substance of his testimony with counsel during luncheon. Assuming arguendo that there was error at the trial, we believe that, on the record before us, the case comes within the rule set down in People v Crimmins ( 36 N.Y.2d 230), as the proof of the guilt of this defendant is overwhelming.
