Summary: OPINION OF THE COURT MEMORANDUM. The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed. Assuming that defendant made a specific request for the material alleged to be exculpatory, we find no reasonable possibility that any failure to disclose it contributed to the verdict ( see People v Vilardi, 76 N.Y.2d 67 , 77 [1990]). Moreover, we reject defendant's claim that the evidence supporting his conviction of depraved indifference murder is legally insufficient because of our decision in Peop

OPINION OF THE COURT
MEMORANDUM.
The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed.
Assuming that defendant made a specific request for the material alleged to be exculpatory, we find no reasonable possibility that any failure to disclose it contributed to the verdict (see People v Vilardi, 76 N.Y.2d 67, 77 [1990]). Moreover, we reject defendant's claim that the evidence supporting his conviction of depraved indifference murder is legally insufficient because of our decision in People v Feingold (7 N.Y.3d 288 [2006]). The standard enunciated in Feingold simply does not apply retroactively to cases on collateral review (see Policano v Herbert, 7 N.Y.3d 588, 603-604 [2006]), and defendant's claim that such a result violates the Federal Due Process Clause is without merit (Wainwright v Stone, 414 U.S. 21, 23-24 [1973]).
Order affirmed in a memorandum.
