fendant from a judgment of the County Court, Dutchess County (Marlow, J.), rendered July 9, 1996, convicting him of criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the People (see, People v Contes, 60 NY2d 620 ), we find that it was legally sufficient to establish the defendant’s guilt of criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree 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 sentence is not excessive (see, People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80 ).
The defendant’s remaining contentions, including those raised in his supplemental pro se brief, are without merit. Mangano, P. J., Bracken, Krausman and Goldstein, JJ., concur.
