DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the purported appeal from the judgment under Indictment No. 11401/95 is dismissed. as the defendant did not file a notice of appeal from that judgment; and it is further,
ORDERED that the judgment under Indictment No. 11399/95 is affirmed.
The defendant's contention that the Supreme Court improperly limited his cross-examination of the complainant at his trial under Indictment No. 11399/95 is unpreserved for appellate review ( see, CPL 470.05; People v. George, 67 N.Y.2d 817). In any event, this claim is without merit. A trial court is permitted wide latitude in ruling on the scope of examination, and its rulings are not to be disturbed absent an improvident exercise of discretion ( see, People v. Ashner, 190 A.D.2d 238; People v. Cruz, 158 A.D.2d 329).
The sentences imposed for the convictions of criminal contempt in the first degree were neither harsh nor excessive ( see, People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80).
Since the defendant never filed a notice of appeal from the judgment rendered under Indictment No. 11401/95, his purported appeal from that judgment must be dismissed. In any event, his contentions relating to that judgment are without merit.
