Opinion
October 1, 1996.
Before: Murphy, P.J., Wallach, Kupferman, Williams and Mazzarelli, JJ.
Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Alvin Schlesinger, J.), rendered on or about October 26, 1993, convicting defendant, after a jury trial, of assault in the first degree and criminal possession of a weapon in the second and third degrees, and sentencing defendant to concurrent terms of 4 to 12 years, 2½ to 7½ years and ½ to 4½ years, respectively, unanimously affirmed.
Defendant's bolstering claim is unpreserved as a matter of law ( People v West, 56 NY2d 662), and, in any event, without merit, since the officer did not testify that defendant was identified by the victim ( People v Carolina, 211 AD2d 454, lv denied 85 NY2d 860). Defendant's summation challenges are also un-preserved ( People v Dien, 77 NY2d 885), and we decline to review them in the interest of justice. In any event, we find them lacking in merit.
