Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Salvador Galdamez, Appellant.
[690 NYS2d 459]

Opinion:
—Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Nassau County (DeRiggi, J.), rendered September 18/1997, convicting him of rape in the first degree, sexual abuse in the first degree, and unlawful imprisonment 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 with respect to his conviction of unlawful imprisonment in the second degree 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. S. Miller, J. P., Ritter, Altman and H. Miller, JJ., concur.
