Opinion
—Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Rockland County (Meehan, J.), rendered May 11, 2000, convicting him of assault in the first degree and criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant’s challenge to the legal sufficiency of the evidence is unpreserved for appellate review (see CPL 470.05 [2]; People v Gray, 86 NY2d 10; People v Udzinski, 146 AD2d 245). 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, contrary to the defendant’s contention, the verdict of guilt on the weapon possession count was not against the weight of the evidence (see CPL 470.15 [5]).
The defendant’s remaining contentions, including those raised in his supplemental pro se brief, are without merit. Ritter, J.P., Florio, S. Miller and H. Miller, JJ., concur.
