Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant contends that he was denied the effective assistance of trial counsel. We find that when considered as a whole, trial counsel's performance was sufficiently competent to satisfy the defendant's constitutional right to the effective assistance of counsel (see, People v Baldi, 54 N.Y.2d 137).
Since the defendant failed to object to the closure of the courtroom at trial when the undercover officer testified, the issue is unpreserved for appellate review (see, People v Scott, 134 A.D.2d 379; People v Boyd, 64 A.D.2d 668). Kunzeman, J.P., Balletta, Miller and O'Brien, JJ., concur.
