DECISION & ORDER

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Kron, J.), rendered October 25, 2007, convicting him of promoting prostitution in the second degree and promoting prostitution in the third degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant was not deprived of a fair trial by the Supreme Court's instructions to the jury. Viewing the Supreme Court's charge as a whole, the instructions regarding credibility adequately conveyed to the jury the appropriate standard by which to evaluate the testimony of the complainant (see People v. Gillyard, 70 AD3d 854, 855; People v. Francisco, 44 AD3d 870, 871; People v. Goodson, 35 AD3d 760, 761; People v. Hosannah, 2 AD3d 458, 459).

RIVERA, J.P., DILLON, HALL and ROMAN, JJ., concur.
