309 A.D.2d 944 (N.Y. App. Div. 2003)

Opinion

2001-10564

Submitted September 30, 2003.

October 27, 2003.

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Buchter, J.), rendered November 21, 2001, convicting him of attempted murder in the first degree, assault in the first degree (two counts), attempted assault in the first degree, menacing in the second degree (three counts), and criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree (two counts), upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Lynn W. L. Fahey, New York, N.Y. (Jonathan M. Kratter of counsel), for appellant.

Richard A. Brown, District Attorney, Kew Gardens, N.Y. (John M. Castellano, Nicoletta J. Caferri, and Doreen S. Martin of counsel), for respondent.

Before: DAVID S. RITTER, J.P., GABRIEL M. KRAUSMAN, ROBERT W. SCHMIDT, STEPHEN G. CRANE, JJ.


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 since he did not specify the ground raised on appeal in his motion to dismiss at trial ( see CPL 470.05; People v. Williams, 247 A.D.2d 416). 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 his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt ( see People v. Williams, 84 N.Y.2d 925, 926).

The sentence imposed was not excessive ( see People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80).

RITTER, J.P., KRAUSMAN, SCHMIDT and CRANE, JJ., concur.
