DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
Contrary to the defendant's contentions, the court properly refused to excuse a prospective juror for cause, as he indicated that he would be able to follow the law as provided by the court ( see People v. Rudolph, 266 A.D.2d 568, 568-569; People v. Archer, 210 A.D.2d 241; People v. Lee, 193 A.D.2d 759, 760).
The defendant's remaining contentions, raised in his supplemental pro se brief, either are unpreserved for appellate review or without merit.
SANTUCCI, J.P., FLORIO, SCHMIDT and RIVERA, JJ., concur.
