Opinion
June 27, 1996
Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Howard Bell, J.).
The hearing court did not unduly limit defense counsel's cross-examination of the arresting officer concerning prior unrelated arrests. Inquiry on this issue was only marginally relevant, and the court properly exercised its discretion ( see, Delaware v. Van Arsdall, 475 U.S. 673, 679).
