Order affirmed for the reasons stated in the memorandum of the Appellate Division (88 A.D.2d 694, 451 N.Y.S.2d 321), 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, 451 N.Y.S.2d 690, 436 N.E.2d 1292, the trial judge failed to exercise discretion.
