Opinion
March 13, 1995
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Moskowitz, J.).
Ordered that the amended sentence is affirmed.
Contrary to the defendant's contention, we discern no improvident exercise of the court's broad discretion in controlling the scope of cross-examination so as to prevent extensive inquiry into irrelevant or collateral areas (see, e.g., People v. McGriff, 201 A.D.2d 672). Moreover, the court properly limited the scope of the hearing to a determination of the amount of restitution (see, Penal Law § 60.27), and the record amply supports the amount fixed by the court for which the defendant and his codefendants are jointly and severally liable (see, e.g., People v. Hodge, 176 A.D.2d 1234; People v. Hall, 173 A.D.2d 729). Furthermore, the court correctly declined to consider the defendant's ability to pay in determining the amount of restitution pursuant to Penal Law § 60.27 (2) and in accordance with the terms of the order of remittitur (see, People v Weinberg, 183 A.D.2d 930; cf., Penal Law § 65.10 [g]).
The defendant's remaining contentions are unpreserved for appellate review (see, CPL 470.05) or without merit. Mangano, P.J., Bracken, Sullivan, Ritter and Copertino, JJ., concur.
