PEOPLE v. JOSEPH

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

Since the defendant failed to object to the trial court's justification charge, this issue is unpreserved for appellate review ( see, CPL 470.05; People v. Gurganious, 214 A.D.2d 681). In any event, the court's charge, which followed the pattern jury instructions almost verbatim ( see, 1 CJI[NY] 35.15 [2] [a], at 876-879), viewed in its entirety, adequately conveyed the appropriate standard to the jury ( see, People v. Wesley, 76 N.Y.2d 555, 561; People v. Goetz, 68 N.Y.2d 96; People v. Martinez, 243 A.D.2d 732).

The defendant's remaining contentions are either unpreserved for appellate review ( see, CPL 470.05) or without merit.

Miller, J.P., Altman, McGinity and Luciano, JJ., concur.
