Opinion
November 6, 1995
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Mastro, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's contention that the trial court improperly admitted into evidence $167 recovered from his person by the police at the time he was arrested is unpreserved for appellate review and, in any event, without merit. "In cases involving possession of illegal drugs with the intent to sell, `[e]vidence of money found on the defendant's person at the time of his arrest [is] probative of [his] intent'" and therefore, properly admissible into evidence (People v Woodson, 198 A.D.2d 535, quoting People v Rivera, 177 A.D.2d 662, 663).
The defendant's sentence was not excessive (see, People v Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80). The defendant's remaining contentions are either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit. Sullivan, J.P., Altman, Hart and Friedmann, JJ., concur.
