Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Philip Darden, Appellant.
[675 NYS2d 549]

Opinion:
—Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Lipp, J.), rendered June 2, 1988, convicting him of burglary in the third 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 Johnson, 228 AD2d 521; People v Lopez, 175 AD2d 267; 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]). O'Brien, J. P., Sullivan, Pizzuto and Joy, JJ., concur.
