Opinion
November 10, 1986
Appeal from the Cattaraugus County Court, Crowley, J.
Present — Dillon, P.J., Callahan, Doerr, Boomer and Schnepp, JJ.
Judgment unanimously reversed, on the law, and new trial granted. Memorandum: Defendant raises on appeal the same issues raised by his codefendant on an earlier appeal to this court (see, People v Riddell, 115 A.D.2d 986). Our memorandum decision on the Riddell appeal is dispositive of those issues and a reversal is required. We add only that defendant's claim that the evidence was insufficient as a matter of law to support the convictions is without merit and that except as otherwise held in our memorandum decision in Riddell, it was not error to permit cross-examination of defendant on his prior bad acts.
