—Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: Defendant was convicted after a jury trial of criminal possession of a controlled substance in ‍​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​​​​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​​​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍the fourth degree (Penal Law § 220.09 [1]) and criminal possession of a controlled substance in the seventh degree (Penal Law § 220.03). We reject the contention of defendant that he was convicted of an unindicted offense. Defendant was indicted ‍​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​​​​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​​​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍and tried for the possession of all the cocaine found in the vehicle that he was driving (cf., People v McNab, 167 AD2d 858). To the extent that defendant contends that counts one and two of the indictment are ‍​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​​​​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​​​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍duplicitous, that contention is not preserved for our review (see, People v Thomas, 267 AD2d 949; People v Rivera, 257 AD2d 425, lv denied 93 NY2d 901). In any event, each count “properly aggregated all the drugs simultaneously found in defendant’s constructive ‍​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​​​​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​​​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍possession” (People v Rivera, supra, at 426). We also reject defendant’s contention that Supreme Court abused its discretion in summarily denying defendant’s CPL 330.30 motion alleging juror misconduct (see, People v Rhodes, 92 AD2d 744).
