| The People of the State of New York,Respondent, v Luis Rodriguez, Appellant. |
Paul Skip Laisure, New York, NY (Iskuhi Grigoryev of counsel), for appellant.
John M. Ryan, Acting District Attorney, Kew Gardens, NY (John M. Castellano, JohnnetteTraill, Ellen C. Abbot, and Kathryn A.A. O'Neill of counsel), for respondent.
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (JohnLatella, J.), rendered May 23, 2016, convicting him of criminal possession of a weapon in thesecond degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant was convicted of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree arisingfrom a traffic stop in Queens.
The defendant's contention that certain remarks made by the prosecutor in summationdeprived him of a fair trial is unpreserved for appellate review, since the defendant either did notobject to the remarks, made only a general objection, or failed to request further curative reliefwhen his objections were sustained (see CPL 470.05 [2]; People v Barrett, 159 AD3d 1018,1018-1019 [2018]; People v Beer,146 AD3d 895, 897 [2017]; Peoplev Guzman, 138 AD3d 1140 [2016]). In any event, the contention is without merit, as theremarks were fair comment on the evidence and the reasonable inferences to be drawn therefrom,fair response to the defense summation, permissible rhetorical comment, or do not otherwiserequire reversal (see People vTaylor, 159 AD3d 734, 735 [2018]; People v Kaval, 154 AD3d 875, 876 [2017]; People v Carter, 152 AD3d 786[2017]; People v Rudenko, 151AD3d 1084, 1085 [2017]).
