Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Nassau County (Calabrese, J.), rendered August 24, 1998, convicting him of murder in the second degree, assault in the second degree, and criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.
Amy L. Colvin, Halesite, N.Y., for appellant.
Denis Dillon, District Attorney, Mineola, N.Y. (Robert A. Schwartz and Denise Pavlides of counsel), for respondent.
Before: DANIEL W. JOY, J.P., WILLIAM C. THOMPSON, GABRIEL M. KRAUSMAN, GLORIA GOLDSTEIN, JJ.
DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution (see, People v. Contes, 60 N.Y.2d 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).
The defendants' remaining contentions are either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit.
