Opinion
June 11, 1991
Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Clifford Scott, J.).
The Sandoval ruling, limiting inquiry as to whether defendant had been convicted of a felony, did not result in undue prejudice to defendant (see, People v Ricks, 135 A.D.2d 844, 845, lv denied 73 N.Y.2d 895, 74 N.Y.2d 746). We note that the prosecutor, in fact, did not elicit this testimony, and did not refer to it in summation. The prosecutor's summation, was reasoned response to that of the defendant.
Concur — Murphy, P.J., Milonas, Ellerin, Wallach and Smith, JJ.
