Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Jerome Smith, Appellant.
(Appeal No. 1.)

Opinion:
Defendant failed to preserve for our review his contention that the trial court's charge on the burglary count was inadequate and thereby deprived him of a fair trial (see, CPL 470.05 [2]). In any event, that contention lacks merit.
Finally, the trial court properly rejected defendant's attempt to introduce into evidence his statement to police following his arrest (see, People v Brown, 159 AD2d 956, lv denied 78 NY2d 1009).
