DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the People (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. 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 was not prejudiced by the People's summation, as it addressed the trial testimony and was responsive to the arguments and issues raised by the defense counsel (see, People v. Galloway, 54 N.Y.2d 396; People v. Russo, 201 A.D.2d 512, affd 85 N.Y.2d 872; People v. Torres, 121 A.D.2d 663, 664).
The defendant's remaining contentions do not require reversal.
