It appears there’s no honor among disgraced pols.

Indicted state Assemblyman William Boyland Jr. doesn’t want his upcoming corruption trial to include any mention of the other officials a former hospital exec was convicted of bribing.

In papers filed today in Manhattan federal court, the Brooklyn Democrat says it would be “overly prejudicial” to allow testimony about David Rosen’s “separate and distinct conspiracies” with the late Queens Assemblyman Anthony Seminerio and Brooklyn state Sen. Carl Kruger.

In a later filing, prosecutors said they don’t plan to focus on “Rosen’s corrupt relationship with Kruger,” but that “Rosen’s payments to both Seminerio and Boyland Jr. — at the same time and on the same issues — is inextricably intertwined.”

Boyland’s trial is set to begin Nov. 1. Kruger, who also maintains his innocence, faces trial next year.
