PEOPLE v. HAKIM

ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's challenge to the validity of his waiver of the right to a jury trial is unpreserved for appellate review (see, CPL 470.05; People v. Magnano, 77 N.Y.2d 941, cert denied 502 U.S. 864; People v. McKnight, 198 A.D.2d 306). In any event, the written jury waiver form executed by the defendant and his statements on the record indicate that his waiver was knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently made (see, People v. McQueen, 52 N.Y.2d 1025; People v. White, 262 A.D.2d 590; People v. Wheeler, 258 A.D.2d 542).

The defendant's remaining contention is without merit.
