| The People of the State of New York,Respondent, v Reuben Lewis, Appellant. |
—[*1] Richard A. Brown, District Attorney, Kew Gardens, N.Y. (John M. Castellano, Nicoletta J.Caferri, and Ushir Pandit of counsel), for respondent.
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Latella, J.),rendered August 8, 2005, convicting him of attempted rape in the first degree, sexual abuse in thefirst degree (two counts), and assault in the third degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposingsentence.
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
Contrary to the defendant's contention, the trial court did not err in granting the prosecutor'schallenge for cause to a prospective juror (see People v Rennie, 34 AD3d 504 [2006]; cf. People v Oliveri, 29 AD3d 330[2006]).
The defendant's challenges to allegedly prejudicial comments made by the prosecutor onsummation and allegedly prejudicial questions on the defendant's cross-examination areunpreserved for appellate review (see CPL 470.05 [2]). In any event, the comments andquestions complained of do not warrant reversal (see People v Wright, 40 AD3d 1021 [2007]; People v Liu,104 AD2d 1052 [1984]).[*2]
The defendant's remaining contention is without merit.Mastro, J.P., Fisher, Carni and McCarthy, JJ., concur.
