Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Rappaport, J.), rendered September 13, 1995, convicting him of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third 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
*639 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 contentions are without merit.
O’Brien, J. P., Sullivan, Friedmann and Goldstein, JJ., concur.
