    The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Kian Khatibi, Appellant.
    [736 NYS2d 238]
   Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Westchester County (Cowhey, J.), rendered May 19, 1999, convicting him of assault in the first degree and criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth 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 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. Krausman, J. P., Friedmann, Feuerstein and Schmidt, JJ., concur.
