Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant argues on appeal that he was denied his statutory right to a speedy trial (CPL 30.30). However, since the defendant never made a pretrial motion, in writing, and on reasonable notice to the People, for dismissal of the indictment on this basis, this argument has not been preserved for appellate review (see, CPL 30.30; 210.20, 210.45 [1]; see also, People v Trevino, 114 A.D.2d 916; People v Forsyth, 112 A.D.2d 1008, appeal denied 66 N.Y.2d 763; People v Walsh, 106 A.D.2d 482).
We have examined the defendant's remaining contentions, including those advanced in his pro se brief, and find that they are either similarly unpreserved for appellate review or without merit. Mollen, P.J., Mangano, Eiber and Sullivan, JJ., concur.
