Opinion
2001-06483.
November 14, 2005.
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (McKay, J.), rendered March 7, 2001, convicting him of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.
Murray E. Singer, Great Neck, N.Y., for appellant.
Richard A. Brown, District Attorney, Kew Gardens, N.Y. (John M. Castellano, Sharon Y. Brodt, and William H. Branigan of counsel), for respondent.
Before: Goldstein, J.P., Skelos, Fisher and Lunn, JJ., concur.
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's contention that he was denied his right to a public trial when the trial court partially closed the courtroom during the testimony of two undercover police officers was waived and, in any event, is without merit ( see People v. Sevencan, 258 AD2d 485).
The defendant's remaining contentions are either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit.
