DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's contention that the evidence was legally insufficient to establish his guilt is unpreserved for appellate review ( see 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 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 470.05).
The defendant's remaining contentions either are unpreserved for appellate review or without merit.
PRUDENTI, P.J., TOWNES, MASTRO and RIVERA, JJ., concur.
