The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Martin Thomas, Appellant.
    Argued February 7, 1990;
    decided March 22, 1990
    
      APPEARANCES OF COUNSEL
    
      Robert S. Dean and Philip L. Weinstein for appellant.
    
      Charles J. Hynes, District Attorney (Linda Breen, Jay M. Cohen and Roseann B. MacKechnie of counsel), for respondent.
   OPINION OF THE COURT

Order affirmed. Defendant’s request for the plea and sentence minutes of his accomplice as Rosario material (People v Rosario, 9 NY2d 286, cert denied 368 US 866), asserted for the first time on appeal under CPL 380.70, is unpreserved because it was made to the trial court on a bare claim of entitlement with no specific response to the court’s request for a relevant legal predicate. The other claimed errors in the prosecutor’s summation are also either unpreserved or without merit.

Concur: Chief Judge Wachtler and Judges Simons, Kaye, Alexander, Titone, Hancock, Jr., and Bellacosa.
