DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant contends that the prosecutor improperly was permitted to elicit testimony from an undercover officer that he had seen the defendant before the incident and remembered his last name, and then permitted to refer to that testimony in summation, although the prosecutor knew that the defendant had no prior convictions. This contention, however, is unpreserved for appellate review inasmuch as the defendant failed to specifically object to the testimony and failed to object to the summation remark (see CPL 470.05; People v. Tonge, 93 N.Y.2d 838; People v. Tevaha, 84 N.Y.2d 879; People v. Dien, 77 N.Y.2d 885). In any event, this evidence was relevant to the issue of the defendant's identification and did not necessarily implicate him in any prior drug-related activity or uncharged crime (see People v. Gardner, 292 A.D.2d 464, lv denied 98 N.Y.2d 675; People v. Reid, 259 A.D.2d 505; People v. Johnson, 215 A.D.2d 258; People v. Dawson, 115 A.D.2d 612). Accordingly, since the potential for prejudice implicit in the officer's testimony did not outweigh its probative value, the testimony was properly admitted. Moreover, the prosecutor's reference to this testimony in summation was a fair response to the defense counsel's assertion in summation that the police arrested the wrong man and attacking the credibility of the undercover officer (see People v. Wynn, 222 A.D.2d 470), and had no reasonable possibility of misleading the jury that the defendant was previously involved in drug-related activity (cf. People v. Alicea, 37 N.Y.2d 601).
The defendant's contention that the prosecutor improperly stated during summation that the defendant's two businesses did not exist when she knew that they did is also unpreserved for appellate review (see CPL 470.05). In any event, any impropriety in this one isolated remark was not so prejudicial as to require reversal in light of the overwhelming evidence of the defendant's guilt (see People v. Crimmins, 36 N.Y.2d 230).
