The People, etc., respondent, v. Joseph Velsor, appellant.
Argued-April 12, 2010
DECISION & ORDER
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Gavrin, J.), rendered June 30, 2008, convicting him of burglary in the first degree, robbery in the first degree, robbery in the second degree, criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree (four counts), and criminal possession of stolen property in the fifth degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's contention that certain testimony constituted inadmissible hearsay is not preserved for appellate review (see CPL 470.05[2]; People v. Velez, 64 AD3d 621, 622; People v. Ketteles, 62 AD3d 902, 905; People v. Bryan, 50 AD3d 1049, 1050; People v. Antongiorgi, 242 A.D.2d 578, 578; People v. Merchant, 150 A.D.2d 730, 731). In any event, the defendant's contention is without merit (see People v. Walker, 70 AD3d 870, 871; People v. Chandler, 59 AD3d 562, 562; People v. Arrington, 158 A.D.2d 461, 461).
The sentence imposed was not excessive (see People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80).
The defendant's remaining contentions are unpreserved for appellate review and, in any event, do not require reversal.
SKELOS, J.P., ANGIOLILLO, LEVENTHAL and ROMAN, JJ., concur.
