Opinion
2000-04543.
Decided April 26, 2004.

Lynn W.L. Fahey, New York, N.Y. (Barbara Lerner of counsel), for appellant.

Before: HOWARD MILLER, J.P., DANIEL F. LUCIANO, ROBERT W. SCHMIDT, SANDRA L. TOWNES, JJ.
DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant contends that the trial court's justification charge was improper because the objective portion of the charge failed to properly instruct the jurors. This claim is unpreserved for appellate review, as the defendant failed to object to the charge as given or to request a supplemental charge ( see People v. Santos, 280 A.D.2d 561, 562; People v. Gurganious, 214 A.D.2d 681; People v. Noor, 177 A.D.2d 517). In any event, the court's charge, viewed in its entirety, adequately conveyed the appropriate standard to the jury ( see People v. Wesley, 76 N.Y.2d 555; People v. Goetz, 68 N.Y.2d 96; People v. Martinez, 243 A.D.2d 732).
H. MILLER, J.P., LUCIANO, SCHMIDT and TOWNES, JJ., concur.
