Judgments, Supreme Court, New York County (Felice Shea, J. at hearing; Dorothy Cropper, J. at pleas and sentence), rendered January 20, 2000, convicting defendant of attempted criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree and criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree, and sentencing him, as a second felony offender, to concurrent terms of 3 1/2 to 7 years, unanimously affirmed.
MADELEINE GUILMAIN, for respondent.
AARON P. MICHEAU, for defendantd-appellant.
Before: Tom, J.P., Sullivan, Rosenberger, Ellerin, Rubin, JJ.
Defendant was not deprived of a fair suppression hearing by the court's denial of his request for the desk sergeant's log book and the request for analysis for the drugs seized from his accomplice. While defendant claimed these documents contained Rosario material, he did not establish that these documents recorded any statements by the testifying officer that were related to the subject matter of his testimony (see People v. Johnson, 286 A.D.2d 641, lv denied 97 N.Y.2d 683; People v. Kornberg, 243 A.D.2d 132, 153, lv denied 92 N.Y.2d 882). The court's questioning of the People's witness merely expedited the hearing and did not unduly prejudice defendant (see People v. West, 210 A.D.2d 147, lv denied 85 N.Y.2d 944), and it properly exercised its discretion in imposing reasonable limits on cross-examination by precluding matters beyond the scope of the direct testimony and collateral to the subject of the hearing (see People v. Perciballi, 291 A.D.2d 360, lv denied 98 N.Y.2d 654).
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
