105 A.D.2d 805 (N.Y. App. Div. 1984)

Opinion

November 19, 1984

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Tsoucalas, J.).


Judgment affirmed.

On this appeal, defendant contends, inter alia, that the alibi charge impermissibly shifted the burden. of proof. Defense counsel did not object to the charge, and, accordingly, any error of law was not preserved for appellate review (CPL 470.05; People v Cadorette, 83 A.D.2d 908, aff'd. 56 N.Y.2d 1007; People v Thomas, 50 N.Y.2d 467). Moreover, we have examined the charge and conclude that reversal is not warranted in the interest of justice.

We have examined defendant's remaining contentions and find them to be either without merit or not preserved for our review. Lazer, J.P., Thompson, Niehoff and Rubin, JJ., concur.
