Opinion
September 27, 1996.
Judgment unanimously affirmed.
Before: Present Denman, P.J., Green, Callahan, Doerr and Boehm, JJ.
Defendant has not met his "high burden of demonstrating that he was deprived of a fair trial by less than meaningful representation" ( People v Hobot, 84 NY2d 1021, 1022). Defendant failed to preserve for our review his contentions that County Court's Allen charge ( see, Allen v United States, 164 US 492, 501-502) was unduly coercive ( see, People v White, 166 AD2d 910, lv denied 76 NY2d 992) and that the prosecutor's improper remarks on summation deprived him of a fair trial ( see, People v Chaney, 155 AD2d 985). We decline to exercise our power to review those contentions as a matter of discretion in the interest of justice ( see, CPL 470.15 [a]).
