—Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Bruce Allen, J.), rendered on or about May 6, 1994, convicting defendant, after a jury trial, of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree (two counts), criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree (two counts), criminal impersonation in the second degree (two counts) and criminal possession of a forged instrument in the second degree, and sentencing him to concurrent terms of 2 to 6 years on each second-degree weapon possession conviction and 1 year on each of the remaining convictions, unanimously affirmed.
Since the plain meaning of the presumption contained in Penal Law § 265.15 (4) renders the presumption applicable to felony gun possession charges, the court properly instructed the jury thereon (see, People v McKenzie, 67 NY2d 695; People v Williams, 235 AD2d 267, lv denied 89 NY2d 1042). Viewed as a whole, the court’s charge properly instructed the jury on the permissive nature of the presumption, and emphasized that the burden of proving every element of the crimes charged,
By abandoning an issue, the resolution of which had been deferred by the court, defendant failed to preserve his current claims of error regarding the admission of evidence that allegedly suggested uncharged crimes (see, People v Cobos, 57 NY2d 798, 802; People v Pressley, 216 AD2d 202, lv denied 86 NY2d 800; People v Arroyo, 209 AD2d 328, lv denied 85 NY2d 859), and we decline to review them in the interest of justice. Were we to review these claims, we would find that defendant could not have been prejudiced by this evidence, by the absence of an advance ruling on its admissibility, or by the absence of limiting instructions, which were never requested (see, People v Williams, 50 NY2d 996, 998-999; People v Ramos, 220 AD2d 330, lv denied 87 NY2d 976).
Defendant’s pro se claim challenging the sufficiency of the evidence presented before the Grand Jury is not reviewable on appeal (People v Cerda, 236 AD2d 292). Concur—Sullivan, J. P., Nardelli, Rubin and Mazzarelli, JJ.
