OPINION

BENCH, Presiding Judge:

¶ 1 Defendant Eric Jason Valdez appeals his jury conviction of one count of rape, a first degree felony. See Utah Code Ann. § 76-5-402 (2003).1 Valdez argues that the trial court erred in denying his motion for a new trial because the trial court precluded him from cross-examining the victim (Lucero) about a dismissed charge. We affirm.
