Opinion
2001-05834.
Decided March 1, 2004.
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Gary, J.), rendered June 14, 2001, convicting him of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree (four counts), criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree (two counts), and criminal possession of a controlled substance in the seventh degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.
Lynn W.L. Fahey, New York, N.Y. (John Gemmill of counsel), for appellant, and appellant pro se.
Charles J. Hynes, District Attorney, Brooklyn, N.Y. (Leonard Joblove, Sholom J. Twersky, and Ryan A. Becker of counsel), for respondent.
Before: DAVID S. RITTER, J.P., NANCY E. SMITH, HOWARD MILLER and WILLIAM F. MASTRO, JJ.
DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's contention that he was deprived of his right to a public trial is not preserved for appellate review ( see People v. Casper, 287 A.D.2d 575; People v. Torres, 257 A.D.2d 639), and we decline to address it in the exercise of our interest of justice jurisdiction ( see CPL 470.05).
The defendant's remaining contentions in his supplemental pro se brief are without merit.
RITTER, J.P., SMITH, H. MILLER and MASTRO, JJ., concur.
