Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Radames Torres, Appellant.

Opinion:
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (Mclnerney, J.), rendered July 13, 1987, convicting him of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree and criminal possession of a controlled substance in the fourth 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 beyond a reasonable doubt. Moreover, upon the exercise of our factual review power, we are satisfied that the verdict was not against the weight of the evidence (CPL 470.15 [5]).
The sentence was not excessive. The defendant's remaining contentions are either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit. Bracken, J. P., Lawrence, Harwood and Balletta, JJ., concur.
