The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Edward Akam, Appellant.
    [671 NYS2d 1018]
   —Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Nassau County (Palmieri, J.), rendered May 15, 1996, convicting him of grand larceny in the third degree (seven counts) and grand larceny 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 (see, CPL 470.15 [5]).

The defendant’s remaining contentions, including those raised in his supplemental pro se brief, are either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit. Santucci, J. P., Joy, Florio and McGinity, JJ., concur.
