People v. Austin
Opinion of the Court
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Kramer, J.), rendered July 11, 1985, convicting him of robbery in the first degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The trial court did not err in failing to direct the People to turn over the Grand Jury synopsis sheet and the data analysis form to defense counsel pursuant to People v Rosario (9 NY2d 286, cert denied 368 US 866), as neither contained an abbreviated summary of an interview with any of the People’s witnesses (see, People v Adger, 144 AD2d 475; People v Williams, 128 AD2d 912, lv denied 69 NY2d 1011). Moreover, the material at issue is duplicative of statements previously turned over to defense counsel, and thus the defendant was not, in any event, entitled to its disclosure (see, People v Ranghelle, 69 NY2d 56; People v Consolazio, 40 NY2d 446).
The defendant challenges his adjudication as a persistent violent felony offender on the basis that, inter alia, the 1976 and 1977 convictions cited in the People’s predicate felony statement were unconstitutionally obtained. Having failed to demonstrate good cause for his failure to challenge the constitutionality of the 1976 conviction upon his sentencing in 1977,
We have considered the defendant’s remaining contentions, including his claim that the sentence imposed was unduly harsh, and find them to be without merit. Brown, J. P., Eiber, Sullivan and Harwood, JJ., concur.
