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

[*1]Steven Banks, New York, N.Y. (Svetlana M. Kornfeind of counsel), for appellant.

Charles J. Hynes, District Attorney, Brooklyn, N.Y. (Leonard Joblove and Ruth E. Ross ofcounsel), for respondent.

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Marrus, J.),rendered January 30, 2007, convicting him of rape in the first degree and burglary in the seconddegree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant failed to preserve for appellate review his contention that the admission ofPeople's exhibit Nos. 6 and 7 deprived him of a fair trial (see CPL 470.05 [2]). In anyevent, insofar as both exhibits summarized information from various DNA reports, they wereproperly admitted under the voluminous writing exception to the best evidence rule (see EdGuth Realty v Gingold, 34 NY2d 440 [1974]; Sager Spuck Statewide Supply Co. vMeyer, 298 AD2d 794 [2002]; People v Potter, 255 AD2d 763 [1998]; People vWeinberg, 183 AD2d 932 [1992]). Furthermore, we note that before trial, the defendant wasprovided with copies of all the DNA reports (see Ed Guth Realty v Gingold, 34 NY2d440 [1974]; Sager Spuck Statewide Supply Co. v Meyer, 298 AD2d 794 [2002];People v Potter, 255 AD2d 763 [1998]; People v Weinberg, 183 AD2d 932[1992]). Prudenti, P.J., Dillon, Eng and Roman, JJ., concur.
