THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. JOHN AMANTE, Appellant.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

There is no merit to the defendant's claim that the court violated CPL 310.20 (2) when it submitted a verdict sheet that contained seven notes instructing the jury on the order in which the charges should be considered. The notes involved herein were simply "direction[s] regarding the order in which the submitted charges should be considered" ( People v. Cole, 85 N.Y.2d 990, 991-992). Such directions are proper ( see, People v Simpson, 222 A.D.2d 462; People v. Albornoz-Sinisterra, 220 A.D.2d 600; People v. Daughtry, 202 A.D.2d 686).

The defendant's remaining contentions are either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit.

Thompson, J.P., Pizzuto, Friedmann and Krausman, JJ., concur.
