People v. Carlson
Opinion
Motion to change venue of trial of indictment from Chautauqua County denied. Memorandum: We conclude that defendant has not on this application met his burden of demonstrating that there is "reasonable cause to believe that a fair and impartial trial cannot be had” in Chautauqua County (CPL 230.20 [2]). If it develops during the voir dire that a fair and impartial jury cannot be drawn, an appropriate application may then be made. The relief requested in the application before us now is premature. (See, People v DiPiazza, 14 NY2d 342; People v Simmons, 132 AD2d 1009; People v Oakes, 130 AD2d 980; [543]*543People v Rivera, 130 AD2d 980.) Present — Dillon, P. J., Callahan, Denman, Balio and Lawton, JJ.
