| The People of the State of New York,Respondent, v Isaiah Bridges, Appellant. |
—[*1] Kenneth P. Thompson, District Attorney, Brooklyn, N.Y. (Leonard Joblove, AnnBordley, and Claibourne I. Henry of counsel), for respondent.
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (J.Goldberg, J.), rendered November 29, 2010, convicting him of criminal sexual act in thefirst degree (two counts), burglary in the second degree, and petit larceny, upon a juryverdict, and imposing sentence.
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's contention that he was deprived of a fair trial by improper remarksmade by the prosecutor during summation is unpreserved for appellate review (see People v Santos, 105AD3d 1064, 1065 [2013]). In any event, the challenged remarks were fair commenton the evidence and the reasonable inferences to be drawn therefrom or responsive todefense counsel's summation (see People v Bryant, 39 AD3d 768, 769 [2007]; People v Siriani, 27 AD3d670 [2006]).
Defense counsel's failure to object to certain of the prosecutor's challenged remarksduring summation did not deprive the defendant of the effective assistance of counselunder the New York Constitution (see People v Floyd, 97 AD3d 837, 838 [2012]; People v Anderson, 24 AD3d460 [2005]), or under the United States Constitution (see Strickland vWashington, 466 US 668 [1984]).
The sentence imposed was not excessive (see People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80[1982]).
The defendant's remaining contention is unpreserved for appellate review and, in anyevent, without merit. Rivera, J.P., Hall, Roman and Miller, JJ., concur.
