PEOPLE v. BENS

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's contention that he was denied his right to a public trial when the trial court partially closed the courtroom during the testimony of two undercover police officers was waived and, in any event, is without merit ( see People v. Sevencan, 258 AD2d 485).

The defendant's remaining contentions are either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit.
