Opinion
May 18, 1998
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Schulman, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant failed to preserve, for appellate review his claim that the trial court should have excused a prospective juror for cause, since he did not join in his codefendant's application to challenge the juror ( see, e.g., People v. Colselby, 240 A.D.2d 227, lv denied 90 N.Y.2d 906, 1010, 1014; People v. Scott, 197 A.D.2d 644; CPL 270.15; 470.05 [2]).
In any event, the court did not improvidently exercise its discretion in denying the codefendant's motion to strike the prospective juror for cause ( see, People v. Baskett, 250 A.D.2d 774 [decided herewith]).
Friedmann, J.P., Goldstein, Florio and Luciano, JJ., concur.
