—Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Westchester County
*249 (Leavitt, J.), rendered September 14, 1998, convicting him of criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree (two counts), reckless endangerment in the first degree, and criminal mischief in the fourth degree, after a nonjury trial, and imposing sentence.Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant’s contention that the Trial Judge failed to conduct an adequate inquiry into the basis for his waiver of a jury trial is unpreserved for appellate review (see, CPL 470.05 [2]; People v Magnano, 77 NY2d 941, cert denied 502 US 864; People v Johnson, 51 NY2d 986; People v Ospina, 192 AD2d 680, 681; People v Pelaccio, 159 AD2d 734, 735). In any event, the defendant’s written waiver of his right to a jury trial was signed and acknowledged in open court (see, CPL 320.10 [2]; People v Magnano, supra; People v Pelaccio, supra), and the Trial Judge conducted a sufficient inquiry to ensure that the defendant understood the consequences of his actions (see, People v Pelaccio, supra). Mangano, P. J., Ritter, S. Miller and H. Miller, JJ., concur.
