Opinion
May 2, 1995
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Bronx County (George Covington, J.).
The trial court's Sandoval ruling, which permitted inquiry into the underlying facts of a relatively small number of defendant's prior convictions, was not an abuse of discretion (see, People v Bowman, 211 A.D.2d 590; see also, People v Cain, 167 A.D.2d 131, 132-133, lv denied 77 N.Y.2d 836; People v Mingues, 165 A.D.2d 774, lv denied 76 N.Y.2d 988).
