—[*1] Schwed & Zucker, Kew Gardens, N.Y. (Michael Schwed of counsel), for appellant.

Richard A. Brown, District Attorney, Kew Gardens, N.Y. (John M. Castellano, Johnnette Traill, and Ayelet Sela of counsel), for respondent.

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Aloise, J.), rendered November 15, 2012, convicting him of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree and unlawful possession of pistol ammunition, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's challenges to certain remarks the prosecutor made in summation are unpreserved for appellate review (see CPL 470.05 [2]). In any event, the defendant's challenges are without merit as the remarks constituted fair comment (see People v Withfield, 106 AD3d 760, 761 [2013], lv denied 21 NY3d 1021 [2013]).

By specifically declining the trial court's invitation to charge a lesser-included offense, the defendant waived his current claim that it was error not to charge criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree as a lesser-included offense of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree (see CPL 300.50; People v Goodwine, 46 AD3d 702, 703 [2007]; People v Brown, 262 AD2d 569, 570 [1999]).

The defendant was not deprived of his right to the effective assistance of counsel under either the Federal or State Constitution (see Strickland v Washington, 466 US 668 [1984]; People v Baldi, 54 NY2d 137, 147 [1981]).

The defendant's remaining contentions are unpreserved for appellate review and, in any event, without merit. Mastro, J.P., Angiolillo, Leventhal and Chambers, JJ., concur.
