PEOPLE v. JOHNSON

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The trial court did not improvidently exercise its discretion in ruling after a Sandoval hearing that if the defendant testified, the prosecutor could impeach him with the underlying facts of a Family Court juvenile delinquency adjudication for sale of a controlled substance. The sale is relevant to the issue of credibility as it demonstrates the defendant's willingness to place his interests above those of society (see, People v Brownlee, 193 A.D.2d 752).

The defendant's remaining contentions are without merit. Bracken, J.P., Balletta, Pizzuto and Hart, JJ., concur.
