Ordered that the judgments are affirmed.
Contrary to the defendant's contentions, the trial court did not commit reversible error by denying his request for a missing witness charge. Although it was error for the trial court to deny the requested charge (see, People v. Kitching, 78 N.Y.2d 532; People v. Gonzalez, 68 N.Y.2d 424), the error was harmless in light of the overwhelming evidence of the defendant's guilt (see, People v. Fields, 76 N.Y.2d 761; People v. Crimmins, 36 N.Y.2d 230).
The defendant's remaining contentions are either unpreserved for appellate review (see, CPL 470.05; see also, People v Torres, 80 N.Y.2d 944; People v. Logan, 74 N.Y.2d 859; People v Hopkins, 76 N.Y.2d 872; People v. Udzinski, 146 A.D.2d 245), or without merit (see, People v. Robert, 184 A.D.2d 597). O'Brien, J.P., Pizzuto, Joy and Krausman, JJ., concur.
