The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Blanca Cruz, Appellant.

— Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Tomei, J.), rendered March 24, 1983, convicting her of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Judgment affirmed.

The alleged errors of law were not properly preserved for review (see, CPL 470.05 [2]). As the charge, taken in its entirety, adequately explained the concepts of proof necessary before a defendant may be convicted in a criminal case, reversal is not warranted in the interest of justice (see, People v Townes, 104 AD2d 1057 ; People v Thompson, 97 AD2d 554 ; People v Ortiz, 92 AD2d 595 ). We have reviewed the defendant’s other contention and decline to reverse on that ground

in the interest of justice. Mollen, P. J., Mangano, Gibbons and Bracken, JJ., concur.
