The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Robert Wigham, Appellant.
[632 NYS2d 490]

—Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Pincus, J.), rendered October 25, 1993, convicting him of manslaughter in the second degree, criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, and reckless endangerment in the first degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution (see, People v Contes, 60 NY2d 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 contention is unpreserved for appellate review and, in any event, without merit. O’Brien, J. P., Joy, Altman and Florio, JJ., concur.
