PEOPLE v. SIMPSON

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant asserts that the trial court erred when it instructed the jury that a trial is a search for the truth. This contention is not preserved for appellate review (CPL 470.05; People v Whalen, 59 N.Y.2d 273; People v Nuccie, 57 N.Y.2d 818). In any event, the court's instructions, viewed in their entirety, adequately conveyed to the jury the appropriate standards applicable to this case (see, People v Graziano, 151 A.D.2d 775; see also, People v Coleman, 70 N.Y.2d 817, 819; People v Adams, 69 N.Y.2d 805, 806; People v Goodfriend, 64 N.Y.2d 695, 697). Accordingly, the defendant's contention is without merit.

We have reviewed the defendant's remaining contention and find it to be without merit (see, People v Sterling, 151 A.D.2d 522). Harwood, J.P., Balletta, Rosenblatt and Copertino, JJ., concur.
