DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant contends that the trial court improperly denied his challenge for cause of a prospective juror, who was self-employed, because the juror expressed job-related concerns regarding his time and finances. Upon being questioned, the juror stated unequivocally on the record that he would be fair and impartial (see People v. Chambers, 97 N.Y.2d 417, 419). Accordingly, we find no basis for reversal.
The defendant's remaining contentions are without merit.
PRUDENTI, P.J., RITTER, FEUERSTEIN and CRANE, JJ., concur.
