Opinion
February 15, 1996
Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Thomas Galligan, J.).
Defendant's claim that the trial court failed to instruct the jurors to keep the four incidents separate in their minds is not preserved for appellate review as a matter of law ( see, People v Drake, 204 A.D.2d 479, lv denied 84 N.Y.2d 907) and we decline to review it in the interest of justice. Were we to review it, we would find it to be without merit in light of the charge as a whole, which properly conveyed the appropriate standard ( see, People v. Hall, 169 A.D.2d 778). We likewise find defendant's challenge to the prosecutor's summation unpreserved and without merit.
Concur — Sullivan, J.P., Milonas, Ellerin, Rubin and Kupferman, JJ.
