Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Spires, J.), rendered July 14, 1997, convicting him of criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree, upon a jury verdict, and, imposing sentence.
M. Sue Wycoff, New York, N.Y. (David Crow of counsel), and Joseph D. Jean, New York, N. Y., for appellant (one brief filed).
Richard A. Brown, District Attorney, Kew Gardens, N.Y. (John M. Castellano of counsel; Nora A. Colangelo on the brief), for respondent.
MYRIAM J. ALTMAN, J.P., WILLIAM D. FRIEDMANN, GABRIEL M. KRAUSMAN, SANDRA J. FEUERSTEIN, JJ.
DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's contention that a statement made by the Supreme Court during voir dire unduly prejudiced him is unpreserved for appellate review (see, CPL 470.05 Crim. Proc.[2]), and we decline to reach that issue in the exercise of our interest of justice jurisdiction.
ALTMAN, J.P., FRIEDMANN, KRAUSMAN, and FEUERSTEIN, JJ., concur.
