The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Mirito Martinez, Also Known as Pedro Martinez, Appellant.
p. 343
[718 NYS2d 602]

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Finnegan, J.), rendered October 19, 1998, convicting him of robbery in the first degree and robbery in the second degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant’s contention that his conviction is not supported by legally sufficient evidence is unpreserved for appellate review (see, CPL 470.05 [2]; People v Gray, 86 NY2d 10 ). 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. 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]). S. Miller, J. P., Goldstein, H. Miller and Smith, JJ., concur.
