People v. Anderson

199 A.D.2d 273, 605 N.Y.S.2d 939

Opinion

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Nassau County (Jonas, J.), rendered March 5, 1992, 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 seventh degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant’s contention that the evidence is legally insufficient to support his conviction is not preserved for appellate review (see, CPL 470.05 [2]; People v Bynum, 70 NY2d 858; People v Brown, 193 AD2d 691). 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. Specifically, the evidence established that the defendant sold the cocaine in question to an undercover police officer (see, People v Vickers, 177 AD2d 608; People v Matos, 169 AD2d 490).

We have examined the defendant’s remaining contention and find it to be without merit. Thompson, J. P., Bracken, Balletta and Joy, JJ., concur.
