The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Sidney Padgett, Appellant.
[718 NYS2d 860]

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Kohm, J.), rendered March 16, 1998, convicting him of robbery in the first degree, criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, and 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 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 without merit. Ritter, J. P., S. Miller, Goldstein and Smith, JJ., concur.
