The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Peter R. Nelson, Appellant.
    [939 NYS2d 709]
   Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Suffolk County (Hudson, J.), rendered July 16, 2010, convicting him of driving while intoxicated and aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle in the first degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

There is no merit to the defendant’s contention that he was deprived of a fair trial by the conduct of the prosecutor in making prejudicial comments and inflaming the emotions of the jury during summation.

The sentence imposed was not excessive (see People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80 [1982]).

The defendant’s remaining contentions are without merit. Rivera, J.E, Angiolillo, Leventhal and Cohen, JJ., concur.
