No. 125  
The People &c.,
            Respondent,
        v.
Richard D. DiGuglielmo,
            Appellant.
Andrew H. Schapiro, for appellant.
Raffaelina Gianfrancesco, for respondent.
MEMORANDUM:
The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed.
Assuming that defendant made a specific request for the
material alleged to be exculpatory, we find no reasonable
possibility that any failure to disclose it contributed to the
verdict (see People v Vilardi, 76 NY2d 67, 77 [1990]).  Moreover,

No. 125
we reject defendant's claim that the evidence supporting his
conviction of depraved indifference murder is legally
insufficient because of our decision in People v Feingold (7 NY3d
288 [2006]).  The standard enunciated in Feingold simply does not
apply retroactively to cases on collateral review (see Policano v
Herbert, 7 NY3d 588, 603-604 [2006]), and defendant's claim that
such a result violates the federal Due Process Clause is without
merit (Wainwright v Stone, 414 US 21, 23-24 [1973]).
