Opinion
October 16, 1989
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Friedman, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's conviction for the crimes of robbery in the first degree and robbery in the second degree arose out of an incident which occurred during the late evening and early morning hours of January 28 and January 29, 1986, in Long Island City. The prosecution's case rested primarily on the testimony of two complainants, a mother and her 15-year-old daughter.
Contrary to the defendant's argument, the trial court did not improvidently exercise its discretion in refusing to permit inquiry into the fact that the mother had been arrested twice, where the arrests did not result in convictions (People v Cook, 37 N.Y.2d 591; People v Morales, 135 A.D.2d 742).
We have examined the defendant's remaining contentions, including those raised in his supplemental pro se brief, and find them to be without merit (People v Pavao, 59 N.Y.2d 282, 288-289; People v Poole, 48 N.Y.2d 144, 149; 1 CJI[NY] 6.05; CPL 400.20 [b]; People v Drummond, 104 A.D.2d 825). Mangano, J.P., Brown, Kooper and Sullivan, JJ., concur.
