    The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Isiah Smalls, Appellant.
    [632 NYS2d 14]
   —Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Ira Beal, J.), rendered April 13,1993, convicting defendant, after a jury trial, of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree and criminal possession of a controlled substance in the seventh degree, and sentencing him to concurrent prison terms of 41/2 to 9 years and 6 months, respectively, unanimously affirmed.

The challenged portions of the People’s summation were proper comment on evidence that permitted an inference of an "acting-in-concert” scheme to sell drugs between defendant and the unapprehended seller (see, People v Ashwal, 39 NY2d 105, 109-110), and did not deprive defendant of a fair trial.
