Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: Defendant was convicted of selling quantities of cocaine and marihuana to an undercover police officer. Defendant's theory at trial was that he acted as the buyer's agent in each transaction. He argues on appeal that the trial court's instructions to the jury on the defense of agency foreclosed consideration of the existence of an agency relationship upon a finding that defendant received a benefit from the sales. We disagree. Assuming that an agency charge was appropriate in the circumstances of this case, the trial court properly charged the jury that the question of defendant's personal gain is an appropriate factor for their consideration ( see, People v. Argibay, 45 N.Y.2d 45, cert denied sub nom. Hahn-DiGuiseppe v. New York, 439 U.S. 930; People v. Lam Lek Chong, 45 N.Y.2d 64, cert denied 439 U.S. 935; People v Roche, 45 N.Y.2d 78, cert denied 439 U.S. 958).
We have reviewed the other issues raised by defendant and find them to be without merit.
