July 18, 2006.
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Dunlop, J.), rendered March 16, 2004, convicting him of robbery in the second degree (two counts), upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.
Before: Schmidt, J.P., Santucci, Luciano and Covello, JJ., concur.
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's current contention that a juror was incompetent, unable to perceive information accurately, and unfit to serve, is unpreserved for appellate review ( see People v Gray, 86 NY2d 10, 19). The defendant failed to alert the trial court to his specific claims ( see People v Gray, supra at 19; People v Wall, 248 AD2d 650; People v Maldonado, 237 AD2d 463), and the trial court made no specific or express findings concerning those claims ( see CPL 470.05; cf. People v Edwards, 95 NY2d 486, 491; People v Parson, 282 AD2d 477, 478.]). In any event, there is no evidence in the record that the juror demonstrated incompetency or incapacity that called into question his ability to serve as a juror ( see generally People v Guzman, 76 NY2d 1, 5; People v Pagan, 191 AD2d 651; cf. People v Leader, 285 AD2d 823, 824), and render an impartial verdict ( People v Rodriguez, 100 NY2d 30, 34-36), or that a substantial right of the defendant was prejudiced ( see CPL 330.30; People v Rodriguez, supra at 34-36; People v Ceresoli, 88 NY2d 925, 926; People v Irizarry, 83 NY2d 557, 561; People v Clark, 81 NY2d 913, 914-915).
