The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Robert McKenzie, Appellant.
    [713 NYS2d 876]
   Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Westchester County (LaCava, J.), rendered June 30, 1998, convicting him of manslaughter in the first degree, assault in the second degree, criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree, and criminal use of a weapon in the first 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 sentence imposed was neither harsh nor excessive (see, People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80).

The defendant’s remaining contentions are without merit. O’Brien, J. P., Thompson, Sullivan and Altman, JJ., concur.
