Opinion
April 8, 1996
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Roman, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant has not preserved for appellate review his challenges to the admission of testimony by the police witnesses ( see, CPL 470.05; People v. Tevaha, 84 N.Y.2d 879; People v. Walker, 220 A.D.2d 469). In any event, we reject the defendant's contention that he was denied a fair trial by the admission of this testimony. The court admitted properly limited expert testimony regarding the general practices in street-level drug transactions inasmuch as it helped the jury understand the actions of the police that led to the defendant's arrest ( see, People v. Tevaha, supra; People v. Brown, 218 A.D.2d 813; People v Kane, 207 A.D.2d 846, affd 85 N.Y.2d 1024; People v. Peoples, 202 A.D.2d 694).
The defendant's remaining contentions are either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit. Sullivan, J.P., Copertino, Pizzuto and Florio, JJ., concur.
