Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Jul 6, 1999
263 A.D.2d 461 (N.Y. App. Div. 1999)

Opinion

Argued May 25, 1999

July 6, 1999

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (McDonald, J.), rendered November 8, 1996, convicting him of kidnapping in the second degree, attempted robbery in the first degree (three counts), attempted grand larceny in the second degree, criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree, and unlawful imprisonment in the first degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence. The appeal brings up for review the denial, after a hearing (Clabby, J.), of that branch of the defendant's omnibus motion which was to suppress physical evidence.

M. Sue Wycoff, New York, N.Y. (Susan Epstein of counsel), for appellant.

Richard A. Brown, District Attorney, Kew Gardens, N.Y. (John M. Castellano and Nicole Beder of counsel; Sabine L. Noisette on the brief), for respondent.

LAWRENCE J. BRACKEN, J. P., GLORIA GOLDSTEIN, LEO F. McGINITY, ROBERT W. SCHMIDT, JJ.


DECISION ORDER

ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.

We reject the defendant's claim that the trial court unduly restricted his recross examination of the complainant. The line of questioning pursued by the defendant was beyond the scope of the preceding redirect examination of the complainant ( see, People v. Bethune, 105 A.D.2d 262).

The defendant's remaining contentions are without merit.
