    The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Robert L. Norman, Appellant.
    [629 NYS2d 920]
   Upon remittitur from the Court of Appeals, judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: Defendant was convicted of grand larceny in the third degree (Penal Law § 155.35) and criminal possession of stolen property in the third degree (Penal Law § 165.50) based upon evidence that he obtained over $20,000 from a customer for the purchase of a log home kit but later failed to deliver the promised goods. The trial court properly permitted the People to introduce evidence of similar transactions between defendant and other customers. That evidence "was probative on the issue of defendant’s intent and showed a common plan or scheme” (People v Coloney, 98 AD2d 969, 970; see, People v Bayne, 82 NY2d 673, 676; People v Molineux, 168 NY 264). We reject defendant’s contention that the court improperly limited defense counsel’s summation (see, People v Miller, 168 AD2d 642, lv denied 78 NY2d 956; People v Brown, 136 AD2d 1, 16, lv denied 72 NY2d 857, cert denied 488 US 897). The verdict is not against the weight of the evidence (see, People v Bleakley, 69 NY2d 490, 495). (Remittitur from Court of Appeals—Appeal from Judgment of Jefferson County Court, Clary, J.—Grand Larceny, 3rd Degree.) Present—Denman, P. J., Green, Lawton, Callahan and Doerr, JJ.
