    The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Andre Simmons, Appellant.
    [834 NYS2d 112]
   Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Richard D. Carruthers, J.), rendered November 15, 2005, convicting defendant, after a jury trial, of two counts of robbery in the second degree, and sentencing him, as a persistent violent felony offender, to concurrent terms of 18 years to life, unanimously affirmed.

The court properly denied defendant’s application made pursuant to Batson v Kentucky (476 US 79 [1986]). Defendant did not produce “evidence sufficient to permit the trial judge to draw an inference that discrimination ha[d] occurred” (Johnson v California, 545 US 162, 170 [2005]), and thus failed to make a prima facie showing of racial discrimination in the People’s exercise of their peremptory challenges. Defendant’s argument is based entirely on an alleged disparity between the People’s pattern of peremptory challenges and the pattern that would be “expected,” given the racial composition of the available panel of prospective jurors. However, this argument is unreviewable because defendant failed to make any record of the racial makeup of the panel, which was his responsibility to make (see People v Kinchen, 60 NY2d 772 [1983]). Instead, defendant seeks to fill in this gap with speculative assumptions about his own exercise of peremptory challenges, which we find unpersuasive. In any event, even if we were to accept defendant’s assertions regarding his own challenges and calculate the racial composition of the panel accordingly, and even if we were to employ defendant’s mode of analysis, we would still find that he has not shown a statistically significant disparity so as to raise an inference of discrimination (see Castaneda v Partida, 430 US 482, 496 n 17 [1977]). To the extent that defendant is challenging the standard used by the trial court in determining that there was no prima facie case of discrimination, such claim is unpreserved and we decline to review it in the interest of justice.
