    The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Stephen P. Francis, Appellant.
    [910 NYS2d 739]
   Appeal from a judgment of the Oneida County Court (Michael L. Dwyer, J.), rendered August 1, 2008. The judgment convicted defendant, upon a jury verdict, of grand larceny in the third degree and petit larceny.

It is hereby ordered that the judgment so appealed from is unanimously affirmed.

Memorandum: Defendant appeals from a judgment convicting him upon a jury verdict of grand larceny in the third degree (Penal Law § 155.35) and petit larceny (§ 155.25). We reject the contention of defendant that he was denied his right to be informed of the charges against him based upon the failure of the People to specify whether they were proceeding under a theory of larceny by false pretenses (§ 155.05 [2] [a]) or by commission of the crime of issuing a bad check (§ 155.05 [2] [c]). “The People are not required to specify any particular theory of larceny in the indictment . . . [, and t]he present indictment and discovery provided sufficient information to prepare and present a defense” (People v Cannon, 194 AD2d 496, 498 [1993], lv denied 82 NY2d 715 [1993]; see People v Farruggia, 41 AD2d 894 [1973]). The general motion by defendant for a trial order of dismissal failed to preserve for our review his further contention that the evidence is legally insufficient to support the conviction (see People v Gray, 86 NY2d 10, 19 [1995]). Viewing the evidence in light of the elements of the crimes as charged to the jury (see People v Danielson, 9 NY3d 342, 349 [2007]), we conclude that the verdict is not against the weight of the evidence (see generally People v Bleakley, 69 NY2d 490, 495 [1987]). Present — Centra, J.P., Fahey, Peradotto, Bindley and Green, JJ.
