Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant’s contention that he was prejudiced by the prosecutor’s summation is unpreserved for appellate review (see, People v Medina, 53 NY2d 951 ; People v Burrell, 178 AD2d 422 ; People v Bryant, 163 AD2d 406 ; People v Bruen, 136 AD2d 648 ). In any event, we find that the prosecutor’s summation did not deprive the defendant of a fair trial (see, People v Roopchand, 107 AD2d 35 , affd 65 NY2d 837 ).
The sentence imposed was not excessive (see, People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80 ). Bracken, J. P., Sullivan, Eiber and Pizzuto, JJ., concur.
