DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's contention that he did not receive the effective assistance of counsel is without merit (see, People v. Benevento, 91 N.Y.2d 708, 713; People v. Ford, 86 N.Y.2d 397; People v. Jackson, 70 N.Y.2d 768).
The defendant's remaining contentions are unpreserved for appellate review.
