OPINION OF THE COURT
Memorandum.
The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed.
*787Defendant failed to preserve his argument that the People introduced insufficient evidence to corroborate the child victim’s testimony. At the close of the People’s case, the trial court denied defendant’s motion to dismiss and defendant proceeded to present his own evidence. He did not thereafter renew the motion to dismiss at the close of his proof or specifically argue that there was not sufficient corroboration of the victim’s statements. As a result, this issue is not reviewable (see e.g. People v Lane, 7 NY3d 888, 889 [2006]; People v Payne, 3 NY3d 266, 273 [2004]; People v Hines, 97 NY2d 56, 61-62 [2001]). Defendant’s remaining contention is without merit.
