268 A.D.2d 488 (N.Y. App. Div. 2000)

Opinion

Submitted December 7, 1999

January 18, 2000

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Browne, J.), rendered September 8, 1997, convicting him of burglary in the first degree and arson in the second degree, after a nonjury trial, and imposing sentence.

David Zucker, Kew Gardens, N.Y., for appellant.

Richard A. Brown, District Attorney, Kew Gardens, N.Y. (John M. Castellano and Nicoletta J. Caferri of counsel; Sabine L. Noisette on the brief), for respondent.

DAVID S. RITTER, J.P., MYRIAM J. ALTMAN, ROBERT W. SCHMIDT, NANCY E. SMITH, JJ.


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[5]).

The defendant's remaining contentions are unpreserved for appellate review or do not require reversal.

RITTER, J.P., ALTMAN, SCHMIDT, and SMITH, JJ., concur.
