Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Karon Gordon, Appellant.
[779 NYS2d 786]

Opinion:
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Richmond County (Rooney, J.), rendered October 3, 2002, convicting him of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree (two counts), 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 [1983]), 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]). Florio, J.P., S. Miller, Rivera and Lifson, JJ., concur.
