PEOPLE v. McRAE

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Nassau County (Honorof, J.), rendered February 2, 1998, convicting him of attempted aggravated assault upon a police officer, criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree, and reckless endangerment in the first degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's contention that the court's Allen charge (see,Allen v. United States, 164 U.S. 492 ) was coercive is not preserved for appellate review since he did not raise a specific objection on that ground before the trial court (see, People v. Ramkisson, 245 A.D.2d 393 ). In any event, read as a whole, the court's Allen charge was proper (see, People v. Cowen, 249 A.D.2d 560 ).

The defendant's remaining arguments are either unpreserved for appellate review (see, CPL 470.05[2]) or without merit (see,People v. Payne, 88 N.Y.2d 172 ; People v. Kovzelove, 242 A.D.2d 477 ;People v. Campbell, 228 A.D.2d 689 ; People v. Okafore, 72 N.Y.2d 81 ;People v. Satterfield, 66 N.Y.2d 796 ; People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80 ).
