p. 401

The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Steve Williams, Appellant.

[666 NYS2d 442]

—Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Rivera, J.), rendered August 16, 1995, convicting him of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree and assault in the second degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant’s challenges to the legal sufficiency of the evidence are unpreserved for appellant review (see, CPL 470.05 [2]; People v Udzinski, 146 AD2d 245 ). In any event, 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.

The defendant’s sentence was not excessive (see, People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80 ).

The defendant’s remaining contentions, raised in his

supplemental pro se brief, are without merit. Bracken, J. P., Sullivan, Santucci and Luciano, JJ., concur.
