Vartabedian, J.
Defendant Bernard E. Clemmons appeals from judgment after a jury convicted him of multiple crimes. He raises numerous issues, including whether the court erred in limiting the exercise of cross-examination of each witness to only one of the defendant’s two attorneys. The published portion of our opinion contains discussion of this issue. We *1502 find this claim of defendant, as well as his remaining contentions discussed in the unpublished portion of our opinion, to be unavailing. 1 We affirm.
On November 19, 1987, a five-count information was filed against defendant in superior court case No. 35000. He was charged with burglary (Pen. Code, § 459; count I), rape (Pen. Code, § 261, subd. (2); count II) and attempted oral copulation (Pen. Code, §§ 664/28 8a; count III) arising out of an incident at the home of Vickie B. 2 In addition, defendant allegedly used a deadly weapon, a knife, in the perpetration of counts II and III (§ 12022.3). A second burglary (§ 459; count IV) and an assault with intent to commit rape (§ 220; count V) arose out of an incident at the home of Tammi T. Private counsel, William McPhillips, was retained to represent defendant in this matter.
