The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Fevzi Ekinci, Appellant.

[648 NYS2d 962]

—Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (DeLury, J.), rendered August 22, 1994, convicting him of criminal sale of a prescription for a controlled substance (nine counts), 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 contentions are either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit. O’Brien, J. P., Thompson, Joy and Goldstein, JJ., concur.
