Opinion
Submitted September 16, 1999

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Friedman, J.).
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
Contrary to the defendant's contention, the court did not deny him an opportunity to establish an entrapment defense when it refused to compel disclosure at trial of the identity of a confidential informant. The informant was neither a witness nor a participant in the crime (see, People v. Cole, 224 A.D.2d 540 ).
The defendant's remaining contentions are without merit.
SANTUCCI, J.P., THOMPSON, SULLIVAN, and SMITH, JJ., concur.
