Opinion
December 19, 1988
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Kramer, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's contention that the prosecutor improperly questioned the defendant's wife concerning her failure to come forward with exculpatory information without having previously laid a foundation for that line of questioning in accordance with People v Dawson ( 50 N.Y.2d 311, 321, n 4; see also, People v Williams, 123 A.D.2d 413, affd 70 N.Y.2d 946) is not preserved for appellate review as a matter of law. In any event, the prosecutor laid a proper foundation for his cross-examination of the defendant's wife concerning her failure to come forward with exculpatory information (People v Williams, supra).
The defendant's remaining claims are unpreserved for appellate review and are, in any event, without merit. Mollen, P.J., Eiber, Kooper and Harwood, JJ., concur.
