Opinion
February 29, 1988
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Greenberg, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The People established a prima facie case against the defendant on the count of robbery in the second degree. Accordingly, the trial court's denial of the defendant's motion for a trial order of dismissal was proper (see, CPL 290.10; People v Levine, 106 A.D.2d 471). Moreover, it was not error for the trial court to exclude the self-serving hearsay testimony which defense counsel sought to elicit on cross-examination from the People's witness (see, Richardson, Evidence §§ 220, 357, 519 [Prince 10th ed]). Thompson, J.P., Brown, Lawrence and Weinstein, JJ., concur.
