The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Carlos Moreno, Appellant.
    [742 NYS2d 908]
   —Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Douglass, J.), rendered December 1, 1999, convicting him of criminal possession of stolen property in the third degree, unauthorized use of a vehicle in the third degree, criminal mischief in the second degree, and aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle in the first degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant’s contention that the evidence was legally insufficient to establish his guilt of aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle in the first degree is unpreserved for appellate review (see CPL 470.05 [2]; People v Gray, 86 NY2d 10, 19; People v Udzinski, 146 AD2d 245, 250). In any event, 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.

The defendant’s remaining contentions are either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit. Ritter, J.P., Smith, Luciano and Crane, JJ., concur.
