Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Rotker, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
"Before a defense witness may be cross-examined regarding his or her failure to provide law enforcement authorities with exculpatory information attested to at trial, certain foundational requirements must be met" (People v Pittman, 187 A.D.2d 679; see, People v Dawson, 50 N.Y.2d 311, 321, n 4). The prosecutor in this case failed to comply with the foundational requirements set forth by the Court of Appeals in People v Dawson (supra) prior to cross-examining the defense witness. However, the error was harmless since there is no significant probability that the jury would have acquitted the defendant had the error not occurred (see, People v Ayala, 75 N.Y.2d 422, 431; People v Crimmins, 36 N.Y.2d 230, 241-242).
The defendant's remaining contentions are either unpreserved for appellate review (see, CPL 470.05) or without merit. Miller, J.P., Pizzuto, Joy and Krausman, JJ., concur.
