DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
The trial court properly directed the closure of the courtroom during the testimony of the undercover police officer based on the testimony elicited from the officer at the Hinton hearing (see, People v. Hinton, 31 N.Y.2d 71, cert denied 410 U.S. 911). Contrary to the defendant's claim, the officer's testimony that he continued to operate within the 77th Precinct, a three to four square-mile area which included the address where the "buy-and-bust" transaction occurred, and that over 90% of his cases were in that precinct, provided a sufficiently specific geographical scope of ongoing operations to justify the closure (see, People v. Ayala, 232 A.D.2d 312, affd 90 N.Y.2d 490).
The defendant's remaining contention is without merit.
