PEOPLE v. DEVONISH

Defendant's claim that the court's Sandoval ruling allowing inquiry concerning a prior conviction was an abuse of discretion is unpreserved for review as a matter of law, no objection thereto having been taken (see, People v. Brown, 195 A.D.2d 419, lv denied 82 N.Y.2d 804), and we decline to review the issue in the interest of justice.

Concur — Murphy, P.J., Sullivan, Rosenberger and Wallach, JJ.
