Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's contention that the court's jury charge erroneously diluted the reasonable doubt standard is unpreserved for appellate review (see, CPL 470.05; People v Fehr, 75 N.Y.2d 836), and, in any event, without merit (see, People v Antommarchi, 80 N.Y.2d 247; People v Baucom, 154 A.D.2d 688).
We have examined the defendant's remaining contention and find it to be devoid of merit (see, People v Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80). Balletta, J.P., Eiber, Ritter and Santucci, JJ., concur.
