Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York, Plaintiff, v Clarence Poret, Defendant.

Opinion:
—Motion for change of venue denied. Memorandum: We conclude that the 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 Monroe County (CPL 230.20, subd 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.
