    The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Jesse L. Deeds, Appellant.
    [766 NYS2d 600]
   Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Orange County (DeRosa, J.), rendered April 20, 2001, convicting him of rape in the first degree, assault in the second degree, and assault in the third degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant’s contention that the evidence was legally insufficient to sustain his conviction is not preserved for appellate review. In any event, viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution {see People v Contes, 60 NY2d 620 [1983]), 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 CEL 470.15 [5]).

The sentence imposed was not excessive {see People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80 [1982]).

The defendant’s remaining contentions, including those raised in his supplemental pro se brief, either are unpreserved for appellate review or without merit. Smith, J.E, Krausman, Mc-Ginity and Rivera, JJ., concur.
