Judgment unanimously affirmed.
Memorandum:
The jury's verdict convicting defendant of assault in the first degree (Penal Law § 120.10 [1]) is not contrary to the weight of the evidence (see, People v Bleakley, 69 N.Y.2d 490, 495). Defendant failed to preserve for review her contentions that the trial court erred in failing to instruct the jury on the defense of justification (see, CPL 470.05 [2]; People v Harrell, 59 N.Y.2d 620, 622) and in submitting the verdict sheet to the jury (see, People v Marinescu, 175 A.D.2d 141; People v Ahalt, 170 A.D.2d 982, lv denied 78 N.Y.2d 953). We decline to review those issues as a matter of discretion in the interest of justice (see, CPL 470.15 [6] [a]; People v Ahalt, supra). Finally, the sentence is not unduly harsh or excessive.
