Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's challenges to the prosecutor's summation comments are unpreserved for appellate review ( see CPL 470.05; People v. Shelton, 307 AD2d 370, affd 1 NY3d 614; People v. Urena, 305 AD2d 433; People v. Mejias, 296 AD2d 583). In any event, although many of the prosecutor's comments were improper ( see People v. Ashwal, 39 NY2d 105; People v. Smith, 288 AD2d 496; People v. Walters, 251 AD2d 433), the errors were harmless in light of the overwhelming evidence of the defendant's guilt ( see People v. Crimmins, 36 NY2d 230, 241-242; People v. Richardson, 294 AD2d 379, 380; People v. Brown, 285 AD2d 472, 473). Further, contrary to the defendant's contention, he was provided with meaningful representation ( see People v. Taylor, 1 NY3d 174; People v. Benevento, 91 NY2d 708).
