Opinion
April 15, 1996
Appeal from the County Court, Nassau County (Santagata, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
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. Furthermore, 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).
The trial counsel proceeded in as effective a manner as possible in view of the overwhelming evidence of the defendant's guilt, and provided the defendant with meaningful representation ( see, People v. Satterfield, 66 N.Y.2d 796, 798-799; People v Baldi, 54 N.Y.2d 137, 146-147).
The defendant's contention that the sentencing court failed to comply with the procedural mandates of CPL 400.20 is unpreserved for appellate review ( see, People v. Proctor, 79 N.Y.2d 992). Mangano, P.J., Balletta, Copertino and Hart, JJ., concur.
