Opinion
April 21, 1994
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Bronx County (Arlene Silverman, J.).
Defendant's contention that the trial court's Sandoval ruling, which allowed inquiry into the sentence defendant received for a prior conviction of attempted robbery in the second degree, as well as the fact of the conviction itself, was an abuse of discretion is not preserved for review as a matter of law (CPL 470.05; People v Medina, 171 A.D.2d 559, lv denied 78 N.Y.2d 924), and any event, is without merit (People v Rodena, 170 A.D.2d 418, 419, lv denied 77 N.Y.2d 966).
