Opinion
January 24, 1986
Appeal from the Niagara County Court, Hannigan, J.
Present — Callahan, J.P., Denman, Boomer, Pine and Schnepp, JJ.
Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: Although the trial court exceeded the bounds of permissible questioning of defendant's witnesses (see, People v Mees, 47 N.Y.2d 997, 998; People v Mendes, 3 N.Y.2d 120, 121), defense counsel failed to preserve this issue for our review as a matter of law (see, People v Charleston, 56 N.Y.2d 886). Nor did he preserve for such review any error committed by the sentencing court (see, People v Green, 54 N.Y.2d 878). On this record, we decline to exercise our discretion either to reverse the conviction or to remand for resentencing.
