Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Marcella Troy, Appellant.
[625 NYS2d 976]

Opinion:
—Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: We reject the contentions of defendant that the indictment was improperly consolidated for trial with the indictment against the codefendant (see, CPL 200.40 [2]; see, People v Troy, 209 AD2d 943; see also, People v Griffin, 137 AD2d 558, 559, lv denied 70 NY2d 1006) and that County Court abused its discretion in denying her request for additional peremptory challenges (see, CPL 270.25 [2] [b]; [3]). The court gave prompt instructions to the jury that cured any error in the admission of testimony from a prosecution witness regarding the reason defendant was terminated from a specific employment situation. Additionally, the sentence is neither unduly harsh nor severe. Finally, we have considered the remaining contention of defendant and conclude that it is meritless.
