The PEOPLE of the State of New York, Respondent, v. Alejandro CAMPOS, Defendant–Appellant.
Judgment, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Ethan Greenberg, J.), rendered April 1, 2016, convicting defendant, after a jury trial, of two counts of robbery in the first degree, and criminal possession of stolen property in the fourth degree, and sentencing him to consecutive terms of 16 years and 10 years on the robbery counts, and time served on the stolen property count, unanimously affirmed.
Defendant's argument that the prosecutor engaged in misconduct, during cross-examination and in summation, that mandates reversal is unpreserved, and we decline to review it in the interest of justice. As an alternative holding, we find that defendant has failed to identify any significant impropriety by the prosecutor and plainly none that would approach the “obdurate pattern” of improper behavior required to establish reversible prosecutorial misconduct (People v. D'Alessandro, 184 A.D.2d 114, 118, 591 N.Y.S.2d 1001 [1st Dept. 1992], lv denied 81 N.Y.2d 884, 597 N.Y.S.2d 945, 613 N.E.2d 977 [1993]).
We perceive no basis for reducing defendant's sentence.
