DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant unsuccessfully challenged for cause a prospective juror whose spouse was a supervising Assistant District Attorney in the office of the District Attorney which was prosecuting him. The record reveals that the juror was unacquainted with the trial prosecutor and that her spouse had no interaction with him. As the prospective juror unequivocally stated that she had no predisposition and would base her verdict upon the evidence, the court properly denied the defendant's challenge for cause (see,People v. Colon, 71 N.Y.2d 410 ; People v. Williams, 222 A.D.2d 627 ; cf., People v. Shinkle, 51 N.Y.2d 417 ).
The court properly disallowed the defendant's attempt to impeach the testimony of his own witness using a police report which the witness neither signed nor made under oath (see, CPL 60.35; People v. Zenger, 134 A.D.2d 640 ; People v. Jordan, 59 A.D.2d 746 ).
The defendant's remaining contentions are without merit.
SULLIVAN, J.P., FRIEDMANN, FEUERSTEIN, and SMITH, JJ., concur.
