May 9, 2005.
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Starkey, J.), rendered January 14, 2002, convicting him of assault in the second degree and criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.
Before: Santucci, J.P., Crane, Mastro and Spolzino, JJ., concur.
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's contention that the trial court improperly ruled after a Sirois hearing ( see Matter of Holtzman v. Hellenbrand, 92 AD2d 405) that he could not introduce prior grand jury testimony at trial to impeach the complainant's subsequent grand jury testimony is without merit ( see People v. Geraci, 85 NY2d 359, 366; People v. Pace, 300 AD2d 1071, 1072; People v. Sime, 254 AD2d 183, 184).
The sentence imposed was not excessive ( see People v. Suitte, 90 AD2d 80).
