Before: CORNELIUS J. O'BRIEN, J.P., DANIEL F. LUCIANO, ROBERT W. SCHMIDT, THOMAS A. ADAMS, JJ.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
Contrary to the defendant's contention, the court's Sandoval ruling properly balanced the relevant considerations (see, People v. Sandoval, 34 N.Y.2d 371; People v. Reyes, 193 A.D.2d 767; People v. Vanderhall, 168 A.D.2d 655, 656).
O'BRIEN, J.P., LUCIANO, SCHMIDT and ADAMS, JJ., concur.
