Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Noel Rivera, Appellant.
[624 NYS2d 938]

Opinion:
—Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Orange County (Charde, J.), rendered June 10, 1986, convicting him of murder in the second 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 of guilt was not against the weight of the evidence (see, CPL 470.15 [5]).
The defendant's remaining contentions are unpreserved for appellate review or without merit. Mangano, P. J., Rosenblatt, Miller and Ritter, JJ., concur.
