Majority

p. 606
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v LISA BELL, Appellant.

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Posner, J.), rendered October 15, 1986, convicting her of robbery in the second degree (two counts) and assault in the second degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Ordered, that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant contends that a single improper summation comment by the prosecutor deprived her of a fair trial. We find, however, that the alleged instance of misconduct—in

respect to which defense counsel’s objection was immediately sustained—does not warrant reversal under the circumstances (see, People v Brown, 128 AD2d 542 ; People v Roopchand, 107 AD2d 35 , affd 65 NY2d 837 ). Lawrence, J. P., Kunzeman, Kooper and Spatt, JJ., concur.
