Opinion of the Court

—Writ of habeas corpus in the nature of an application for bail reduction upon Queens County Indictment No. 763/97, and for leave to prosecute the proceeding as a poor person.

Adjudged that the writ is dismissed, without costs or disbursements.

The determination of the Supreme Court, Queens County, was not an improvident exercise of discretion, and did not violate “constitutional or statutory standards” (People ex rel. Klein v Krueger, 25 NY2d 497, 499; see, People ex rel. Rosenthal v Wolfson, 48 NY2d 230). O’Brien, J. P., Thompson, Santucci and McGinity, JJ., concur.
