People v. Robertson
Opinion of the Court
—Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Joan Sudolnik, J.), rendered January 25, 1996, convicting defendant, after a jury trial, of burglary in the second degree, burglary in the third degree, criminal trespass in the second degree, petit larceny and criminal possession of a controlled substance in the seventh degree, and sentencing him, as a second felony offender, to consecutive terms of 6 to 12 years and 3 to 6 years on the burglary convictions, to run concurrently with two terms of 1 year and time served, unanimously affirmed.
Contrary to defendant’s claim, the record does not reveal any Rosario violation since there is no indication that the alleged Rosario material to which he refers ever existed (see, People v Kidd, 247 AD2d 269, lv denied 92 NY2d 854). Even assuming their existence, they were generated by private hospital security personnel and therefore were not in the People’s control. Neither the special patrolman status nor the limited law enforcement functions of these private citizens brought them within the “ ‘law enforcement chain’ ” (People v Kelly, 88 NY2d 248, 253; People v Howard, 87 NY2d 940, 941; see also, People v Kronberg, 243 AD2d 132, 152, lv denied 92 NY2d 880).
We have considered and rejected defendant’s other claims, including those contained in his pro se supplemental brief. Concur — Lerner, P. J., Wallach, Tom and Andrias, JJ.
