The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Eliezer Diaz, Appellant.
    [783 NYS2d 298]
   Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Hollie, J), rendered April 4, 2003, convicting him of assault in the second degree, assault in the third degree, and criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant’s claim that the evidence was legally insufficient to establish his guilt is unpreserved for appellate review (see CPL 470.05 [2]). In any event, viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution (see People v Contes, 60 NY2d 620 [1983]), 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 either are unpreserved for appellate review or without merit. H. Miller, J.P., Krausman, Cozier and Spolzino, JJ., concur.
