The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Alberto Benevente, Appellant.
    [731 NYS2d 869]
   —Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Rosenzweig, J.), rendered July 19, 1999, convicting him of burglary in the second degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

Contrary to the defendant’s contention, the trial court properly granted the People’s challenge for cause to a prospective juror (see, CPL 270.20 [1] [b]; People v Blyden, 55 NY2d 73, 77-78; People v Light, 260 AD2d 404). Santucci, J. P., Gold-stein, Townes and Cozier, JJ., concur.
