Motion to change venue from Oneida County denied. Memorandum: We conclude that 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 Oneida County (CPL 230.20 [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 DiPiazza, 24 NY2d 342; People v Kroemer, 151 AD2d 1049, and cases cited therein). Present — Doerr, J. P., Denman, Boomer, Pine and Davis, JJ.
