The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Louis Carrasquillo, Appellant.
[691 NYS2d 889]

—Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Dunlop, J.), rendered April 11, 1997, convicting him of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree, criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree, and criminal possession of a controlled substance in the fifth 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 sentence was neither harsh nor excessive (see, People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80 ).

The defendant’s remaining contentions are unpreserved for appellate review or without merit. Bracken, J. P., Ritter, Altman and Friedmann, JJ., concur.
