Ordered that the judgment is affirmed
There was no violation of Batson v. Kentucky ( 476 U.S. 79) in this case ( see, People v. Durant, 250 A.D.2d 698).
Moreover, contrary to the defendant's claim, the sentence imposed was not excessive ( see, People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80).
The defendant's remaining contentions are either unpreserved for appellate review ( see, CPL 470.05) or without merit.
Rosenblatt, J.P., Miller, Ritter and Goldstein, JJ., concur.
