Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Benjamin Muhammad, Appellant.
[671 NYS2d 674]

Opinion:
—Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Westchester County (Sise, J.), rendered July 26, 1996, convicting him of burglary in the second degree and attempted petit larceny, 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 of guilt was not against the weight of the evidence (see, CPL 470.15 [5]).
The defendant's sentence was not excessive (see, People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80).
The defendant's remaining contention is unpreserved for appellate review, and, in any event, is without merit. Pizzuto, J. P., Joy, Friedmann and Florio, JJ., concur.
