People v. Brown

Motion for change of venue denied. Memorandum: On this motion for change of venue it does not appear that a fair and impartial trial cannot be had in Wayne County (CPL 230.20, subd 2). Since the case has not yet progressed to the voir dire of potential jurors, we deem this application premature (People v DiPiazza, 24 NY2d 342; People v Hatch, 46 AD2d 721; People v Sekou, 45 AD2d 982). Present—Marsh, P. J., Cardamone, Simons, Goldman and Witmer, JJ.
