The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Tony Adams, Appellant.
    Argued January 15, 1987;
    decided February 17, 1987
    
      APPEARANCES OF COUNSEL
    
      Richard Joselson, David A. Crow and Philip L. Weinstein for appellant.
    
      Robert M. Morgenthau, District Attorney (Sylvia Wertheimer and Amy jane Rettew of counsel), for respondent.
   OPINION OF THE COURT

Memorandum.

The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed.

Defendant complains that the trial court erred in charging the jury with respect to circumstantial evidence that some of the facts could be proved with less assurance than others. Although the language isolated by defendant was one of the bases for reversal in People v Ford (66 NY2d 428, 443), the charge as a whole adequately conveyed to the jury the appropriate standards (People v Ford, supra).

Defendant’s remaining contentions are not preserved for our review.

Chief Judge Wachtler and Judges Simons, Kaye, Alexander, Titone, Hancock, Jr., and Bellacosa concur.

Order affirmed in a memorandum.
