THE PEOPLE, ETC., RESPONDENT, v. CHRISTOPHER JEFFRIES, APPELLANT. (IND. NO. 2787/97)

DECISION ORDER

ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's contention that the prosecutor improperly used extrinsic documentary evidence to impeach his credibility on a collateral issue is not preserved for appellate review (see, People v. King, 146 A.D.2d 714; People v. Johnson, 144 A.D.2d 490). In any event, the contention is without merit, since the defendant opened the door when he testified on direct examination about the matters raised (see, People v. Chaitin, 61 N.Y.2d 683; People v. Marsh, 248 A.D.2d 743; People v. Gordon, 202 A.D.2d 166).

The sentence imposed was not excessive (see, People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80).
