Order affirmed for the reasons stated in the memorandum of the Appellate Division ( 88 A.D.2d 694), to which we add only that, in view of his ruling limiting use of the 1979 rape conviction, it cannot be said that, as in People v Williams ( 56 N.Y.2d 236), the Trial Judge failed to exercise discretion.
Concur: Chief Judge COOKE and Judges JASEN, JONES, WACHTLER, MEYER and SIMONS.
