The People sufficiently complied with CPL 240.45 (1) (b) by turning over to defendant a list of a witness's convictions including the Penal Law sections violated and the dates of conviction ( see People v Graham, 289 AD2d 417, lv denied 97 NY2d 754; People v Moore, 244 AD2d 776, lv denied 91 NY2d 975). The witness was thoroughly impeached by means of these convictions and defendant was not prejudiced by the absence of docket numbers ( see People v Osborne, 91 NY2d 827; People v Arac, 297 AD2d 560, lv denied 99 NY2d 580; People v Bazemore, 272 AD2d 64, lv denied 95 NY2d 888). The court properly exercised its discretion in denying defendant's request to recall the witness for further cross-examination about the underlying facts of one of his prior convictions based on newly obtained information, since there had already been a sufficient opportunity to cross-examine the witness on this subject ( see People v Stevenson, 281 AD2d 323).

We perceive no basis for reducing the sentence.
