DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
The trial court properly precluded a defense witness from testifying about collateral matters intended merely to impeach the credibility of a prosecution witness (see, People v. Aska, 91 N.Y.2d 979, 981; People v. Johnson, 143 A.D.2d 847, 848).
The trial court's failure to submit the affirmative defense of extreme emotional disturbance to the jury did not constitute reversible error (see, People v. White, 79 N.Y.2d 900; People v. Walker, 64 N.Y.2d 741).
