People v. Cooper

Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: None of defendant’s contentions requires reversal. The trial court’s limited questioning of the complainant was proper (see, People v De Jesus, 42 NY2d 519 , 523) and the complainant’s reference to a prior incident involving the defendant was not so prejudicial that it denied defendant a fair trial or subverted the court’s Sandoval ruling (see, People v Sandoval, 34 NY2d 371 ). On this record, defendant’s convictions for first degree burglary are supported by the weight of the evidence (see, People v Bleakley, 69 NY2d 490 , 495), defendant received meaningful assistance of counsel (see, People v Baldi, 54 NY2d 137 , 146-147; cf., People v Dombrowski, 163 AD2d 873 ), and defendant’s sentence is not excessive. (Appeal from judgment of Supreme Court, Erie County, Marshall, J.—burglary, first degree.) Present—Callahan, J. P., Denman, Green, Balio and Davis, JJ.
