Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York Plaintiff, v Robert Shedrick and Wanda Shedrick Defendants.

Opinion:
Motion for change of venue denied. Memorandum: We conclude that defendants have not on this application met their burden of demonstrating that there is "reasonable cause to believe that a fair and impartial trial cannot be had" in Steuben 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. (See People v Di Piazza, 24 NY2d 342; People v Hatch, 46 AD2d 721; People v Sekou, 45 AD2d 982, app dsmd 35 NY2d 844.) The trial should be held in a courthouse other than the one at Bath. Present—Dillon, P. J., Cardamone, Hancock, Jr., Callahan and Moule, JJ.
