DECISION ORDER

ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's contention that the Molineux evidence was improperly admitted is unpreserved for appellate review ( see, People v. Wilson, 225 A.D.2d 642). In any event, the challenged testimony was properly admitted since it was relevant to the identification of the defendant ( see, People v. Molineux, 168 N.Y. 264; People v. Beam, 57 N.Y.2d 241; People v. Keller, 215 A.D.2d 502), and necessary to complete the narrative ( see, People v. Sceravino, 193 A.D.2d 824; People v. Henry, 166 A.D.2d 720).

Moreover, the defendant's sentence was not excessive ( see, People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80).
