    The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Michael Millhouse, Appellant.
    [767 NYS2d 777]
   Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Rockland County (Resnik, J.), rendered September 25, 2001, convicting him of criminal possession of marijuana in the third degree and unlawful possession of marijuana, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

To the extent that the defendant argues that the evidence was legally insufficient to establish the possession element of criminal possession of marijuana in the third degree, his contention is not preserved for appellate review (see CPL 470.05 [2]). 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, resolution of issues of credibility, as well as the weight to be accorded to the evidence presented, are primarily questions to be determined by the trier of fact, which saw and heard the witnesses (see People v Gaimari, 176 NY 84, 94 [1903]). Its determination should be accorded great weight on appeal and should not be disturbed unless clearly unsupported by the record (see People v Garafolo, 44 AD2d 86, 88 [1974]). 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 sentence imposed was not excessive (see People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80 [1982]). Ritter, J.R, Florio, S. Miller and H. Miller, JJ., concur.
