Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Derrick Tillman, Appellant.
[731 NYS2d 396]

Opinion:
—Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Dunlop, J.), rendered May 20, 1999, convicting him of robbery in the first degree and robbery in the second 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 beyond a reasonable doubt is unpreserved for appellate review (see, CPL 470.05 [2]; People v Udzinski, 146 AD2d 245). 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. 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, including those raised in his supplemental pro se brief, are either without merit or do not warrant reversal. Altman, J. P., McGinity, H. Miller and Feuerstein, JJ., concur.
