Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
As the defendant took no exception to the trial court's charge on circumstantial evidence and acting in concert, he failed to preserve any issues of law with respect to his claims of error for appellate review (see, People v Thomas, 50 N.Y.2d 467, 471; People v Allen, 135 A.D.2d 542) and, under the circumstances, we decline to review the trial court's charge in the exercise of our interest of justice jurisdiction. Mangano, J.P., Lawrence, Kooper and Rosenblatt, JJ., concur.
