DECISION ORDER
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Feldman, J.), rendered January 14, 1997, convicting him of murder in the second degree and robbery in the first degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's claim that the prosecutor improperly cross-examined him with respect to his pretrial silence is unpreserved for appellate review (see, People v. Torres, 220 A.D.2d 263 ), and, in any event, without merit (see, People v. Otero, 225 A.D.2d 489 ; People v. Torres, supra; People v. Punter, 222 A.D.2d 242 ;People v. Trigger, 210 A.D.2d 359 ; People v. Timmons, 149 A.D.2d 746 ).
The defendant's remaining contentions are either unpreserved for appellate review (see, CPL 470.05[2]; People v. Gray, 85 N.Y.2d 909), or without merit (see, CPL 270.15[3];People v. Page, 72 N.Y.2d 69, 73-74 ; People v. Oyewole, 220 A.D.2d 624 ;People v. Green, 216 A.D.2d 170 ; see also, People v. Reynoso, 231 A.D.2d 592 ).
