Ordered that the judgment and order are affirmed.
It was not an improvident exercise of discretion for the trial court to permit the People's witness to testify about a piece of evidence that was lost while in police custody ( see, People v Kelly, 62 NY2d 516; People v Rodriguez, 210 AD2d 266).
The defendant's sentence was not excessive ( see, People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80).
The defendant's remaining contentions, including those raised in his supplemental pro se brief, are either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit.
