Description

[73 N.Y.2d 468 Page 471] Opinion OF THE COURT Defendant has been convicted after trial of robbery in the first and second degrees. An earlier prosecution
of the charges ended in a mistrial when the jury was unable to agree and this circumstance gives rise to two issues presented
on the appeal. First, defendant contends that his conviction must be reversed and a new trial ordered because the People elicited
testimony from the victim that he had identified defendant as the robber at the first trial and also because the People had
failed to comply with the notice requirements of CPL 710.30. Second, defendant assigns error to the introduction of his post-arrest
statements after the prosecutor had stated prior to the first trial that she would not use them. In a third, unrelated point,
defendant contends that the matter must be remitted to the Appellate Division for reconsideration because it refused to accept
his pro se brief. We conclude there was no reversible error and that defendant had no right, constitutional or otherwise,
to file a supplemental pro se brief on appeal when represented by counsel who argued non-frivolous issues on his behalf.
