Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Dexter Castello, Appellant.
[680 NYS2d 163]

Opinion:
—Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Gerges, J., at trial and sentence), rendered October 3, 1995, convicting him of reckless endangerment in the first degree and criminal possession of a weapon in the second 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 are either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit. Rosenblatt, J. P., Miller, Thompson and Joy, JJ., concur.
