Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: Defendant correctly contends that the trial court erred in failing to instruct the jury that the individual who purchased drugs from him was his accomplice (see, CPL 60.22; People v Arnott, 143 A.D.2d 761, 763; People v Webster, 123 A.D.2d 488; People v Tune, 103 A.D.2d 990, 991-992). Inasmuch as defense counsel failed to object to the court's charge, that issue has not been preserved for our review (see, CPL 470.05). Because defendant's conviction did not rest substantially on the accomplice's testimony, we decline to consider this error as a matter of discretion in the interest of justice (see, CPL 470.15; cf., People v Strawder, 124 A.D.2d 758, 759).
The remaining contentions raised by defendant have not been preserved for appellate review and we decline to reach them in the interest of justice.
