p. 553The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v James Macy, Appellant.

sentence. Judgment affirmed. Although the admission of an extrajudicial statement made by defendant’s alleged accomplice was improper, the error was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt in light of the overwhelming evidence of defendant’s guilt (People v Hendrix, 56 AD2d 580 , affd 44 NY2d 658 ; People v Crimmins, 36 NY2d 230 ). We have considered defendant’s remaining contentions and find them to be without merit. Gulotta, J. P., Weinstein, Bracken and Niehoff, JJ., concur.
