People v. Contreras

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Jun 19, 1995
216 A.D.2d 483 (N.Y. App. Div. 1995)

Opinion

June 19, 1995


Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Sherman, J.).

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant has not preserved for appellate review his contention that the evidence was legally insufficient to establish his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt (see, CPL 470.05; People v. Udzinski, 146 A.D.2d 245). 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 unpreserved for appellate review and, in any event, without merit. Copertino, J.P., Santucci, Altman and Krausman, JJ., concur.
