Opinion
November 13, 1995
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Feldman, J.).
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). Additionally, the Supreme Court did not improvidently exercise its discretion in permitting the defendant to proceed pro se for a portion of the trial (see, People v Vivenzio, 62 N.Y.2d 775; People v McIntyre, 36 N.Y.2d 10).
The defendant's remaining contentions, including those raised in his supplemental pro se brief, are either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit. Balletta, J.P., Ritter, Copertino and Friedmann, JJ., concur.
