Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Charles Vaughn, Appellant.
[813 NYS2d 309]

Opinion:
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Rockland County (Kelly, J.), rendered June 20, 2002, convicting him of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree (two counts) and criminal possession 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]).
The sentence imposed was not excessive (see People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80 [1982]).
The defendant's remaining contentions are unpreserved for appellate review and, in any event, are without merit. Florio, J.P., Miller, Adams and Skelos, JJ., concur.
