DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's claim that the evidence was legally insufficient to support his convictions is not preserved for appellate review (see, CPL 470.05[2]). In any event, viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution (see, People v. Contes, 60 N.Y.2d 620 ), we find that it was legally sufficient to establish the defendant' s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Moreover, upon the exercise of our factual review power, we are satisfied that the verdict of guilt was not against the weight of the evidence (see, CPL 470.15[5]).
The defendant's remaining contentions are either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit.
BRACKEN, J.P., S. MILLER, ALTMAN, and LUCIANO, JJ., concur.
