Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v. Furman Gray, Appellant.
Argued October 14, 1970;
decided November 12, 1970.
Harvey L. Greenberg for appellant.
Eugene Gold, District Attorney (William I. Siegel of counsel), for respondent.

Opinion:
Judgment affirmed. Although the prosecutor overextended himself in establishing the identity of defendant as the same Furman Gray who had been previously convicted of a robbery, in the face of defendant's denials, any error, if error there was, was not prejudicial (see Code Crim. Pro., § 542).
Concur: Chief Judge Fuld and Judges Burke, Scileppi, Bergan, Breitel, Jasen and Gibson.
