Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Devin Best, Appellant.
[742 NYS2d 852]

Opinion:
—Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Marrus, J.), rendered March 9, 2000, convicting him of aggravated sexual abuse in the third degree, after a nonjury trial, and imposing sentence.
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's claim that a rubber glove does not constitute a "foreign object" within the meaning of Penal Law § 130.66 (1) (a) is unpreserved for appellate review (see People v Finger, 95 NY2d 894, 895; People v Okehofifurum, 201 AD2d 508, 509). In any event, the large, dirty, rubber glove used in this case can rationally be considered a "foreign object" within the meaning of Penal Law § 130.66 (1) (a) because it is an inanimate object that is capable of causing physical injury (see Penal Law § 130.00 [9]; cf. People v Peet, 101 AD2d 656, 657, affd 64 NY2d 914). Therefore, the evidence was legally sufficient to support the defendant's conviction of aggravated sexual abuse in the third degree.
