OPINION OF THE COURT
Memorandum.
The order of County Court should be affirmed.
The trial court did not abuse its discretion by excluding the proffered lay testimony of defendant's wife concerning the alleged effects of the drug Prozac upon defendant (see, People v Cronin, 60 NY2d 430, 433).
Defendant's remaining contentions are without merit.
Chief Judge Kaye and Judges Titone, Bellacosa, Smith, Levine, Ciparick and Wesley concur.
Order affirmed in a memorandum.
