Judgment affirmed.
p. 754
The record reveals that defendant was adequately represented by counsel (Strickland v Washington, 466 US _, 104 S Ct 2052 ; People v Baldi, 54 NY2d 137 ). Defendant’s other contentions are either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit. Titone, J. P., Mangano, Weinstein and Brown, JJ., concur.
