Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, and the matter is remitted to the Supreme Court, Queens County, for further proceedings pursuant to CPL 460.50.
Since the defendant's attorney raised the defenses of entrapment and duress during jury selection, during his opening statement and in cross-examination, the trial court did not err when it permitted evidence relating to the defendant's criminal predisposition to be introduced on the People's direct case (see, People v Mann, 31 N.Y.2d 253, 261; People v Calvano, 30 N.Y.2d 199, 205; People v Frisbie, 115 A.D.2d 911, 912).
We have examined the defendant's other contentions and find them to be without merit (see, People v Pavao, 59 N.Y.2d 282, 288-289; People v Almodovar, 62 N.Y.2d 126, 133; People v Farrar, 52 N.Y.2d 302, 305). Brown, J.P., Rubin, Lawrence and Kooper, JJ., concur.
