Opinion
April 3, 1995
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Cirigliano, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's contention that the Judge who presided over his trial should have reconsidered a prior Sandoval ruling (People v Sandoval, 34 N.Y.2d 371) by another Judge is without merit. The Trial Judge examined the prior ruling and found that similar rulings had been upheld by the appellate courts. Thus, the Trial Judge did not improvidently exercise his discretion in refusing to give the defense another opportunity to argue this issue (see generally, People v Williams, 56 N.Y.2d 236, 239).
The defendant's remaining contention is unpreserved for appellate review and in any event, does not warrant reversal. Rosenblatt, J.P., Miller, Thompson and Santucci, JJ., concur.
