Opinion
January 16, 1996
Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Murray Mogel, J.).
Defendant's claim that it was improper for the court to permit him to be impeached by his prior statements without ruling on their voluntariness is without merit, since there is neither claim nor evidence of coercion ( People v Nieves, 199 A.D.2d 97, lv denied 83 N.Y.2d 856).
Concur — Murphy, P.J., Sullivan, Kupferman, Ross and Williams, JJ.
