The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v George L. Williams, Appellant.
    [689 NYS2d 642]
   —Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Nassau County (Honorof, J.), rendered April 3, 1997, convicting him of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree and criminal possession of a controlled substance in the fourth 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 (CPL 470.15 [5]).

The defendant’s remaining contentions are without merit. Friedmann, J. P., Krausman, McGinity and Feuerstein, JJ., concur.
