Richard A. Brown, District Attorney, Kew Gardens, N.Y. (John M. Castellano, JeanetteLifschitz, and Rona I. Kugler of counsel), for respondent.

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Gavrin,J.), rendered June 30, 2008, convicting him of burglary in the first degree, robbery in the firstdegree, robbery in the second degree, criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree (fourcounts), and criminal possession of stolen property in the fifth degree, upon a jury verdict, andimposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's contention that certain testimony constituted inadmissible hearsay is notpreserved for appellate review (see CPL 470.05 [2]; People v Velez, 64 AD3d 621, 622 [2009]; People v Ketteles, 62 AD3d 902,905 [2009]; People v Bryan, 50AD3d 1049, 1050 [2008]; People v Antongiorgi, 242 AD2d 578 [1997]; Peoplev Merchant, 150 AD2d 730, 731 [1989]). In any event, the defendant's contention is withoutmerit (see People v Walker, 70AD3d 870, 871 [2010]; People vChandler, 59 AD3d 562, 562 [2009]; People v Arrington, 158 AD2d 461[1990]).

The sentence imposed was not excessive (see People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80 [1982]).

The defendant's remaining contentions are unpreserved for appellate review and, in anyevent, do not require reversal. Skelos, J.P., Angiolillo, Leventhal and Roman, JJ., concur.
