The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Crystal Wright Parker, Appellant.
   Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Tomei, J.), rendered July 9, 1990, convicting her of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree and criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant contends, inter alia, that the People failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that she committed the crime of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree. We disagree. 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.

The defendant’s remaining contentions are unpreserved for appellate review or without merit. Bracken, J. P., Sullivan, Harwood and Lawrence, JJ., concur.
