Opinion
May 20, 1991
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Kramer, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant contends that he was denied the effective assistance of trial counsel. We find that when considered as a whole, trial counsel's performance was sufficiently competent to satisfy the defendant's constitutional right to the effective assistance of counsel (see, People v Baldi, 54 N.Y.2d 137).
Since the defendant failed to object to the closure of the courtroom at trial when the undercover officer testified, the issue is unpreserved for appellate review (see, People v Scott, 134 A.D.2d 379; People v Boyd, 64 A.D.2d 668). Kunzeman, J.P., Balletta, Miller and O'Brien, JJ., concur.
