1Opinion of the Court
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Fisher, J.), rendered April 15, 1996, convicting him of robbery in the second degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
During jury selection, the defendant objected, pursuant to Batson v Kentucky (476 US 79), to the prosecution’s exercise of certain peremptory challenges. The trial court accepted the prosecution’s explanations for the challenges and dismissed the jurors. On appeal, the defendant contends that the court erred in allowing two of those challenges.
