Opinion
March 17, 1986
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Meyerson, J.).
Judgment affirmed.
The court's ruling at the pretrial Sandoval hearing (see, People v. Sandoval, 34 N.Y.2d 371), that the prosecutor would be allowed to cross-examine the defendant with respect to whether he had ever been convicted of any other crimes in addition to attempted possession of a weapon, but would not be allowed to specifically ask if he had ever been convicted of criminal trespass, was a proper exercise of its discretion (see, People v McClain, 107 A.D.2d 765). The defendant's contention that the People failed to comply with his demand for a bill of particulars is without basis. Finally, the sentence imposed was not excessive and its modification by this court is unwarranted (see, People v Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80). Lazer, J.P., Thompson, Bracken and Rubin, JJ., concur.
