Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Ronald Zweibel, J.), rendered February 3, 1999, convicting defendant, after a jury trial, of sexual abuse in the first degree, unlawful imprisonment in the second degree, criminal contempt in the second degree and tampering with a witness in the fourth degree, and sentencing him to four concurrent terms of 6 months concurrent with 5 years probation, unanimously affirmed

JOHN SCHOEFFEL, for Defendant-Appellant
Before: Andrias, J.P., Saxe, Buckley, Friedman, Marlow, JJ
Defendant's challenges to the prosecutor's summation are unpreserved and we decline to review them in the interest of justice. Were we to review these claims, we would find that the challenged portions of the prosecutor's summation did not deprive defendant of a fair trial and that there is no basis for reversal (see, People D'Alessandro, 184 A.D.2d 114, 118-119, lv denied 81 N.Y.2d 884)
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT
