PEOPLE v. WARD

Judgment affirmed.

The defendant's claim of error with respect to the court's charge has not been preserved for appellate review (see, People v Hoke, 62 N.Y.2d 1022). In any event, the court properly instructed the jury, in accordance with Penal Law § 155.00 (3) and § 155.05 (1), that a person is guilty of larceny when he wrongfully takes another's property with the intent to permanently deprive him of that property or deprive him of it for so extended a period of time that a major portion of its economic value is lost (see, People v Blacknall, 63 N.Y.2d 912; People v Matthews, 61 A.D.2d 1017).

Additionally, the evidence adduced at trial was sufficient to establish all the elements of the crimes charged beyond a reasonable doubt (see, People v Contes, 60 N.Y.2d 620). Mollen, P.J., Thompson, Rubin and Lawrence, JJ., concur.
