Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Anthony Trimble, Appellant.
[52 NYS3d 887]

Opinion:
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Grella, J.), rendered December 10, 2015, convicting him of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's contention that the Supreme Court did not conduct a sufficient inquiry of a juror who requested a leave of absence in order to attend the funeral of his brother-in-law's mother is unpreserved for appellate review, as the defendant admittedly never requested such an inquiry (see CPL 470.05 [2]; People v Hicks, 6 NY3d 737, 739 [2005]; People v Mebane, 70 AD3d 724, 724-725 [2010]; People v Morales, 36 AD3d 631, 632 [2007]). In any event, the contention is without merit (see People v Argendorf, 76 AD3d 1100 [2010]; People v Morales, 36 AD3d at 632).
The defendant was not deprived of the effective assistance of counsel (see Strickland v Washington, 466 US 668 [1984]; People v Benevento, 91 NY2d 708 [1998]; People v Baldi, 54 NY2d 137 [1981]).
The sentence imposed was not excessive (see People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80 [1982]).
Rivera, J.R, Austin, Miller and Barros, JJ., concur.
