Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Douglass, J.), rendered December 1, 1999, convicting him of criminal possession of stolen property in the third degree, unauthorized use of a vehicle in the third degree, criminal mischief in the second degree, and aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle in the first degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.
David Chidekel, New York, N.Y. (Mark Diamond of counsel), for appellant.
Charles J. Hynes, District Attorney, Brooklyn, N.Y. (Leonard Joblove and Linda Breen of counsel), for respondent.
DAVID S. RITTER, J.P., NANCY E. SMITH, DANIEL F. LUCIANO, STEPHEN G. CRANE, JJ.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's contention that the evidence was legally insufficient to establish his guilt of aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle in the first degree is unpreserved for appellate review (see CPL 470.05; People v. Gray, 86 N.Y.2d 10, 19; People v. Udzinski, 146 A.D.2d 245, 250). 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.
The defendant's remaining contentions are either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit.
RITTER, J.P., SMITH, LUCIANO and CRANE, JJ., concur.
