People v. Brown, 60 A.D.3d 962

Ordered that the judgment, as amended, is affirmed.

The defendant‘s contention that he was denied a fair trial by comments made by the prosecutor during his cross-examination and the prosecutor‘s summation is unpreserved for appellate review (see CPL 470.05 [2]; People v Williams, 305 AD2d 703 [2003]). In any event, any error was harmless (see People v Crimmins, 36 NY2d 230, 242 [1975]; People v Bailey, 272 AD2d 621 [2000]).

The defendant‘s contention that he was denied the effective assistance of counsel is without merit (see People v Tonge, 93 NY2d 838 [1999]; People v Benevento, 91 NY2d 708, 713 [1998]).

Rivera, J.P., Florio, Dickerson and Chambers, JJ., concur.
