ment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: Defendant contends that he was deprived of his statutory right to a speedy trial. We disagree. CPL 30.30 (1) (a) requires the People to announce their readiness for trial within six months of the commencement of a criminal proceeding. This proceeding was commenced on December 29, 1993, the date on which this Court remitted the matter for a new trial (People v Rice [appeal No. 1], 199 AD2d 1054 ). The People announced their readiness for trial on June 20, 1994, within six months of the commencement of the proceeding, and, thus, defendant’s statutory right to a speedy trial was not violated (see, CPL 30.30 [1] [a]; see generally, People v Wilson, 188 AD2d 671 , after remand 207 AD2d 849 , affd 86 NY2d 753 ).
We have reviewed defendant’s remaining contentions and conclude that they are without merit. (Appeal from Judgment of Onondaga County Court, Cunningham, J. — Criminal Sale Controlled Substance, 3rd Degree.) Present — Denman, P. J., Lawton, Doerr, Balio and Boehm, JJ.
