206 A.D.2d 490 (N.Y. App. Div. 1994)

615 N.Y.S.2d 997

Opinion

July 18, 1994

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Hall, J.).

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's claim that the People failed to prove his identity as the perpetrator is unpreserved for appellate review (CPL 470.05). In any event, viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the People (see, People v. Contes, 60 N.Y.2d 620), we find that it was legally sufficient to establish the defendant's identity as the perpetrator. Moreover, upon the exercise of our factual review power, we are satisfied that the verdict was not against the weight of the evidence (CPL 470.15).

The defendant's remaining contentions are either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit. Rosenblatt, J.P., Lawrence, Copertino and Joy, JJ., concur.
