second violent felony offender, to a term of 15 years with 5 years postrelease supervision, unanimously affirmed.
Evidence of the victim’s identification of a second perpetrator, who was not on trial, was not relevant to any material issue and defendant’s request to exclude this evidence should have been granted (see People v Rosario, 127 AD2d 209 [1987]).
