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

[*1]Lynn W. L. Fahey, New York, N.Y. (Jonathan Garvin of counsel), for appellant.

Richard A. Brown, District Attorney, Kew Gardens, N.Y. (John M. Castellano, Ellen C.Abbot, and Matthew Sweet of counsel), for respondent.

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Lasak, J.),rendered August 13, 2009, convicting him of attempted murder in the second degree, assault inthe first degree, and criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree (two counts), upon ajury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's contention regarding the Supreme Court's Sandoval ruling (seePeople v Sandoval, 34 NY2d 371 [1974]) is unpreserved for appellate review (seeCPL 470.05 [2]) and, in any event, any error was harmless, as there was overwhelmingevidence of the defendant's guilt (seePeople v Jean-Louis, 74 AD3d 1093 [2010]), and no significant probability that the errorcontributed to his convictions (see People v Crimmins, 36 NY2d 230, 241-242 [1975]).Dillon, J.P., Florio, Lott and Sgroi, JJ., concur.
