THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent,

v.KIAN KHATIBI, Appellant.

Decided December 31, 2001.

Krausman, J. P., Friedmann, Feuerstein and Schmidt, JJ., concur.

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 either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit.
