Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Greenberg, J.).
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's claim that the evidence was legally insufficient to support his conviction is not preserved for appellate review, as he only made a general motion to dismiss the indictment at the end of the People's case (see, People v. Gray, 86 N.Y.2d 10; People v. Taylor, 253 A.D.2d 471; People v. Guerra, 199 A.D.2d 412). In any event, viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution (see, People v. Contes, 60 N.Y.2d 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).
The defendant's remaining contention does not require reversal.
