Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Lewis, J.), rendered January 22, 1999, convicting him of robbery in the first degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.
Lynn W. L. Fahey, New York, N.Y. (Debra E. Baker of counsel), for appellant, and appellant pro se.
Charles J. Hynes, District Attorney, Brooklyn, N.Y. (Leonard Joblove and Linda Breen of counsel), for respondent.
Before: O'BRIEN, J.P., RITTER, ALTMAN and SCHMIDT, JJ., concur.
DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
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 failed to demonstrate that he was denied the effective assistance of counsel (see, People v. Benevento, 91 N.Y.2d 708; People v. Baldi, 54 N.Y.2d 137).
The defendant's remaining contentions, including those raised in his pro se supplemental brief, are unpreserved for appellate review (see, CPL 470.05), and we decline to reach them in the exercise of our interest of justice jurisdiction.
