p. 919The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v William J. Ruch, Appellant. [733 NYS2d 668]
—Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: Defendant contends that reversal is required based on County Court’s refusal to dismiss two prospective jurors for cause. We disagree. “[Bjecause defendant had not exercised all of his peremptory challenges by the completion of jury selection, even an erroneous ruling denying a challenge for cause would not constitute reversible error”
