PEOPLE v. SHEARS

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The court properly denied the defendant's application for a separate trial on count eight of the indictment. The charges were properly joined pursuant to CPL 200.20 (2) (b), since evidence of each of the robberies was admissible as to the other ( see People v Beam, 57 NY2d 241, 251-253; People v Rolling, 3 AD3d 436; People v Gonzalez, 188 AD2d 364).

Contrary to the defendant's contention, his written confessions were not involuntary ( see People v Petronio, 34 AD3d 602, 604).

The defendant's contention regarding suppression of a gun is without merit, and the defendant's remaining contentions are unpreserved for appellate review ( see CPL 470.05).
