v
Phillip Williams, appellant.
Lynn W. L. Fahey, New York, NY (Ronald Zapata of counsel), for appellant.
Kenneth P. Thompson, District Attorney, Brooklyn, NY (Leonard Joblove and Thomas M. Ross, and John P. Collins, Jr. [Sullivan & Cromwell LLP], of counsel), for respondent.
DECISION & ORDER
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Gary, J.), dated July 18, 2013, convicting him of driving while ability impaired by alcohol, after a nonjury trial, and imposing sentence.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
The Supreme Court did not err in failing to grant the defendant's motion for a missing witness charge, as the testimony of the subject witness would have been cumulative to the testimony of the other witnesses (see People v Savinon, 100 NY2d 192, 197; People v Gonzalez, 68 NY2d 424, 428).
The defendant's contention concerning the Supreme Court's post-summation colloquy with the prosecutor is unpreserved for appellate review and, in any event, without merit (see People v Issac, 121 AD3d 816, 816-817).
BALKIN, J.P., CHAMBERS, COHEN and MALTESE, JJ., concur.
