Opinion
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Westchester County (Smith, J.), rendered August 15, 1997, convicting him of promoting prison contraband in the first degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant’s contention that the evidence was legally insufficient to support his conviction is unpreserved for appellate review. 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]).
The defendant’s remaining contentions are without merit. O’Brien, J. P., Krausman, Florio and Luciano, JJ., concur.
