Court of Appeals of New York

In a prosecution for possession and sale of cocaine, the judgment of conviction is affirmed, where the Supreme Court did not abuse its discretion by denying the defendant's requests for the substitution of assigned counsel or by its Sandoval ruling, which permitted the prosecutor, should the defendant have testified, to refer to the defendant's prior drug-related felony convictions by naming the specific crimes.
