| The People of the State of New York,Respondent, v Fitzroy Bennett, Appellant. |
—[*1] Charles J. Hynes, District Attorney, Brooklyn, N.Y. (Leonard Joblove and Linda Breen ofcounsel), for respondent.
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Dowling, J.),rendered October 17, 2006, convicting him of burglary in the first degree and assault in thesecond degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
Contrary to the defendant's contention, the Supreme Court did not improvidently exercise itsdiscretion in limiting the defense counsel's cross-examination of the complainant as to prior badacts because counsel failed to establish a good-faith basis for this inquiry (see People v Olibencia, 45 AD3d607 [2007]; People v Dellarocco, 115 AD2d 904, 905 [1985]; cf. People vJones, 193 AD2d 696, 697 [1993]).
The defendant's remaining contention is without merit. Prudenti, P.J., Fisher, Miller andBalkin, JJ., concur.
