People v. Moore, 201 A.D.2d 436, 609 N.Y.S.2d 775, 1994 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 1553 (N.Y. Ct. App. 1994).

Opinion

Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Ronald Zweibel, J.), rendered October 30, 1991, convicting defendant, after a jury trial, of murder in the second degree and criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, and sentencing him to concurrent terms of 17 years to life and 5 to 15 years, respectively, unanimously affirmed.

Defendant’s claim that his conviction should be reversed and the indictment dismissed because the prosecutor improperly elicited testimony of uncharged crimes before the Grand Jury is unpreserved as a matter of law for failure to make a pretrial motion to dismiss the indictment within 45 days after the arraignment (CPL 255.10 [1] [a]; 255.20 [1]). In any event, the claim is without merit since the testimony elicited from the eyewitness to the murder was probative of defendant’s motive for the killing (CPL 190.30 [1]; People v Alvino, 71 NY2d 233, 241-242).

We have considered defendant’s other claims and find they do not warrant any modification of the judgment. Concur— Rosenberger, J. P., Ross, Asch, Rubin and Williams, JJ.
