Opinion
October 13, 1998
Appeal from the County Court, Nassau County (Kowtna, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's legal sufficiency claims are unpreserved for appellate review, as his motion for a trial order of dismissal was not specific ( see, CPL 470.05; People v. Bynum, 70 N.Y.2d 858; 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.
Further, as the People introduced a certified record of conviction indicating that the defendant had been previously convicted of a felony, in addition to a certified copy of the Police Department's fingerprint comparison record attesting to the fact that the person named in that certified record of conviction was in fact the same defendant who appeared before the court for sentencing in the instant case, the People provided the court with presumptive evidence that the defendant was a prior felony offender (see, CPL 60.60; People v. Mezon, 228 A.D.2d 621).
Bracken, J. P., Copertino, Goldstein and McGinity, JJ., concur.
