People v. Creighton — 215 A.D.2d 685

Majority

p. 685

The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Yolanda Creighton, Appellant.

[628 NYS2d 495]

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Cooperman, J.), rendered August 4, 1993, convicting her of criminal possession of stolen property in the fifth degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The trial court did not improvidently exercise its discretion in denying a challenge for cause of a prospective juror. The record of the voir dire reveals that this juror did not possess a state of mind which would have precluded the defendant from receiving a fair trial (see, People v Williams, 63 NY2d 882 ; People v Torpey, 63 NY2d 361 ; People v Pagan, 191 AD2d 651 ).

The defendant’s remaining contentions are either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit. Bracken, J. P., Joy, Friedmann and Florio, JJ., concur.
