Opinion
November 28, 1988
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Rienzi, J., Greenberg, J.).
Ordered that the judgment and amended judgment are affirmed.
Contrary to defendant's assertions, the record does not support his claim that the prosecutor waved a copy of his "rap sheet", which listed his previous arrests, before the jury. Furthermore, the prosecutor's cross-examination of the defendant did not convey to the jury the fact that defendant's prior arrest and conviction were drug related, and thus did not violate the pretrial Sandoval ruling prohibiting inquiry into the nature or underlying facts of the prior conviction (cf., People v Astacio, 131 A.D.2d 684; People v. Edmond, 118 A.D.2d 797).
We have considered the defendant's remaining contentions and find that they are either not preserved for our review or are without merit. Lawrence, J.P., Spatt, Sullivan and Balletta, JJ., concur.
