Argued May 14, 2002.
June 25, 2002.
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Dutchess County (Molea, J.), rendered June 6, 2000, convicting him of grand larceny in the third degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.
Carol Kahn, New York, N.Y., for appellant.
William V. Grady, District Attorney, Poughkeepsie, N.Y. (Bridget Rahilly Steller of counsel), for respondent.
FRED T. SANTUCCI, J.P., MYRIAM J. ALTMAN, HOWARD MILLER, BARRY A. COZIER, JJ.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
Under CPL 270.15(4), a challenge for cause is deemed waived if it is not made before a prospective juror is sworn as a trial juror. Here, the defendant did not at any time challenge for cause the jurors now at issue. Consequently, any objection regarding jury selection must be deemed waived (see People v. Boddie, 240 A.D.2d 155; People v. Clark, 132 A.D.2d 704).
The defendant's remaining contentions are either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit.
SANTUCCI, J.P., ALTMAN, H. MILLER and COZIER, JJ., concur.
