Appeal from the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the Second Judicial Department, Vincent Naro, J.

Elaine Unkeless and Philip L. Weinstein for appellant.

John J. Santucci, District Attorney (Annette Cohen of counsel), for respondent.


Order affirmed. Defendant, relying on Cruz v New York ( 481 U.S. 186), contends that the admission of a confession made by his nontestifying codefendant at trial constituted reversible error. This argument was not preserved for our review (see, CPL 470.05).
