vRonnell Jordan, Appellant.


Submitted by Kevin C. Adam, for appellant.
Submitted by Amy Appelbaum, for respondent.


MEMORANDUM:
The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed. 	Defendant failed to preserve his contention that the trial court discharged prospective jurors based on hardship without conducting a sufficient inquiry (see People v King, __ NY3d __ [decided herewith]). [*2]Defendant's remaining contentions are without merit.


Rivera, J (dissenting):

For the reasons stated in my dissenting opinion in People v King (___ NY3d ___, [decided herewith]), I would reverse the order of the Appellate Division on the sole ground that the judge's jury selection process denied defendant his right to a jury trial.
