Opinion
OPINION OF THE COURT
Memorandum.
The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed. Defendant’s sole argument on appeal is that a specific comment made by the prosecutor during summation violated *886 his rights to a fair trial by an impartial jury and to equal protection under the law. At the time of the prosecutor’s statement, however, defendant made only a general objection, thus failing to preserve his argument for this Court’s review (see, People v Rivera, 73 NY2d 941, 942; People v Ford, 69 NY2d 775, 776).
Chief Judge Wachtler and Judges Simons, Kaye, Alexander, Titone, Hancock, Jr., and Bellacosa concur.
Order affirmed in a memorandum.
