THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. ALVIN ALSTON, Appellant.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant contends that he was denied a fair trial by the admission of allegedly explicit and implicit bolstering testimony and by the prosecutor's reference to this testimony on summation. To preserve a claim of error on the ground of bolstering (see, People v. Trowbridge, 305 N.Y. 471), the defendant must explicitly state that the basis of his objection is that the testimony constitutes improper bolstering (see, People v. Love, 57 N.Y.2d 1023; People v. West, 56 N.Y.2d 662). Here the defendant did not make any objection to the testimony or the remark on summation now complained of. His claims are therefore unpreserved for appellate review (see, CPL 470.05; People v. Nuccie, 57 N.Y.2d 818; People v. Faison, 120 A.D.2d 744). Brown, J.P., Lawrence, Kooper and O'Brien, JJ., concur.
