    The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Russell Dawkins, Appellant.
   We find that the trial court properly exercised its discretion in ruling upon defendant’s Sandoval motion. The probative worth of the evidence on the issue of defendant’s credibility outweighed any possible prejudicial effect (see, People v Sandoval, 34 NY2d 371).

We have considered defendant’s remaining contentions and find that they are either without merit or unpreserved for our review (CPL 470.05 [2]). Lazer, J. P., Gibbons, O’Connor and Weinstein, JJ., concur.
