The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Bienbenito Fernandez, Appellant.
    Argued April 25, 1988;
    decided June 2, 1988
    APPEARANCES OF COUNSEL
    
      Elaine Unkeless and Philip L. Weinstein for appellant.
    
      John J. Santucci, District Attorney (Annette Cohen of counsel), for respondent.
   OPINION OF THE COURT

Order affirmed. Defendant, relying on Cruz v New York (481 US 186), contends that the admission of a confession made by his nontestifying codefendant at trial constituted reversible error. This argument was not preserved for our review (see, CPL 470.05 [2]).

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