June 6, 2006.
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Collini, J.), rendered November 1, 2004, convicting him of assault in the first degree, criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, and attempted robbery in the first degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.
Lynn W.L. Fahey, New York, N.Y. (Denise A. CorsÍ of cousel), for appellant.
Charles J. Hynes, District Attorney, Brooklyn, N.Y. (Leonard Joblove and Howard B. Goodman of counsel), for respondent.
Before: Florio, J.P., Adams, Luciano and Fisher, JJ., concur.
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
Assuming that the trial court erred in preventing the defendant from presenting evidence by a witness of his own choosing ( see generally People v. Bull, 218 AD2d 663, 664), any error was harmless in light of the overwhelming evidence of the defendant's guilt and because there is no reasonable possibility that the error contributed to the convictions ( see People v. Crimmins, 36 NY2d 230, 237; People v. Kavazanjian, 16 AD3d 437, 437 [2005]; People v. Rouff, 163 AD2d 338, 339).
