Opinion
June 2, 1989
Appeal from the Monroe County Court, Celli, J.
Present — Dillon, P.J., Denman, Green, Pine and Balio, JJ.
Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: Any error in the court's limitation on defense counsel's cross-examination of a prosecution witness was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt. The only material testimony presented through that witness was that defendant was at the scene of the crime, a fact which defendant admitted. Thus, there was no need to impeach the witness. Although there may have been a technical violation of CPL 710.30, that error was also harmless. The portion of the statement omitted from the notice was totally innocuous and contained nothing that incriminated defendant.
