Adjudication unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: We reject defendant’s contention that Supreme Court erred in determining the amount of restitution to be made to the victim.

We further reject the contention of defendant that he was denied his right of confrontation by the People’s failure to call the author of the report as a witness (see, US Const 6th Amend; NY Const, art I, § 6).
