Opinion
December 16, 1998
Appeal from the County Court, Suffolk County (Lefkowitz, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's legal sufficiency claim is unpreserved for appellate review ( see, CPL 470.05; People v. Bynum, 70 N.Y.2d 858; People v. Tucker, 196 A.D.2d 902). 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).
The defendant's remaining contentions are without merit.
Rosenblatt, J. P., Ritter, Copertino and Thompson, JJ., concur.
