—[*1] Lynn W. L. Fahey, New York, N.Y. (Katherine R. Schaefer of counsel), for appellant.

Richard A. Brown, District Attorney, Kew Gardens, N.Y. (John M. Castellano, Jeanette Lifschitz, Steven L. Vollins, and Benjamin Mastaitis of counsel), for respondent.

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Hollie, J.), rendered March 1, 2005, convicting him of grand larceny in the third degree and grand larceny in the fourth degree (two counts), upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant failed to preserve for appellate review his contention regarding the preliminary instructions given to the jury, and his contention that the trial court failed to admonish the jury not to discuss the case during an overnight recess (see CPL 270.40, 310.10; People v Agramonte, 87 NY2d 765, 771 [1996]; People v Bonaparte, 78 NY2d 26, 32 [1991]; People v Taylor, 29 AD3d 713, 714 [2006]; People v Robinson, 8 AD3d 502 [2004]; People v Morton, 23 AD3d 411, 412 [2005]), and we decline to review these contentions in the exercise of our interest of justice jurisdiction (see CPL 470.15 [6] [a]; People v Giddens, 202 AD2d 976 [1994]; People v Moore, 161 AD2d 733, 734 [1990]; People v Morton, 23 AD3d 411, 412 [2005]).
