The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Dusham Forest, Appellant.
    [721 NYS2d 549]
   —Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Rotker, J.), rendered November 16, 1999, convicting him of unauthorized use of a vehicle in the second degree, after a non-jury trial, 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 (see, CPL 470.15 [5]).

The defendant’s remaining contention is without merit. Santucci, J. P., Krausman, S. Miller and Smith, JJ., concur.
