Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant failed to preserve, for appellate review his claim that the trial court should have excused a prospective juror for cause, since he did not join in his codefendant's application to challenge the juror ( see, e.g., People v. Colselby, 240 A.D.2d 227, lv denied 90 N.Y.2d 906, 1010, 1014; People v. Scott, 197 A.D.2d 644; CPL 270.15; 470.05 [2]).
In any event, the court did not improvidently exercise its discretion in denying the codefendant's motion to strike the prospective juror for cause ( see, People v. Baskett, 250 A.D.2d 774 [decided herewith]).
