OPINION OF THE COURT
Joseph Jaspan, J.
The defendants, in a pretrial motion, seek to add a new dimension to the doctrine of collateral estoppel as applied to criminal cases.
The defendants assert that a prior determination in an arbitration proceeding is determinative of a critical factual *694issue in this case, thereby precluding a successful prosecution. They move for a dismissal of the indictments against them for reasons associated with the Grand Jury proceedings (CPL 190.30, subds 5 and 6) and in the interests of justice (CPL 210.40).
