Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
We reject the defendant's contention that the court's Allen charge (see, Allen v. United States, 164 U.S. 492) was coercive. A trial court may properly discharge its responsibility by requesting the jurors to make one final effort to review the evidence and reach a verdict if they can (see, People v. Pagan, 45 N.Y.2d 725, 727). The court's Allen charge was a reasonable request for the jury to continue its deliberations (see, People v. Demery, 60 A.D.2d 606).
The defendant's remaining contentions are unpreserved for appellate review (see, CPL 470.05; People v. Kearse, 144 A.D.2d 495; People v. Udzinski, 146 A.D.2d 245), and we decline to reach these contentions in the exercise of our interest of justice jurisdiction. Kunzeman, J.P., Balletta, Miller and Ritter, JJ., concur.
