DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's contention that he was deprived of his right to a public trial is not preserved for appellate review ( see People v. Casper, 287 A.D.2d 575; People v. Torres, 257 A.D.2d 639), and we decline to address it in the exercise of our interest of justice jurisdiction ( see CPL 470.05).
The defendant's remaining contentions in his supplemental pro se brief are without merit.
RITTER, J.P., SMITH, H. MILLER and MASTRO, JJ., concur.
