Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Barrington Price, Appellant.
[735 NYS2d 843]

Opinion:
Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: Defendant appeals from a judgment convicting him after a jury trial of criminal possession of stolen property in the fourth degree (Penal Law § 165.45 [2]) and attempted petit larceny (Penal Law § 110.00, 155.25). We agree with defendant that County Court erred in refusing to instruct the jury on the issue of identification. We conclude, however, that the error is harmless (see, People v Hattan, 149 AD2d 531, lv denied 74 NY2d 741). The evidence of defendant's guilt is overwhelming and there is no significant probability that defendant otherwise would have been acquitted (see, People v Crimmins, 36 NY2d 230, 241-242). (Appeal from Judgment of Monroe County Court, Egan, J. — Criminal Possession Stolen Property, 4th Degree.) Present — Pigott, Jr., P. J., Wisner, Hurlbutt, Kehoe and Gorski, JJ.
