    The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v John Holder, Appellant.
    [794 NYS2d 915]
   — Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Knipel, J.), rendered June 12, 2002, convicting him of assault in the second 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 [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 CPL 470.15 [5]).

The defendant’s remaining contentions are either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit. Schmidt, J.P., S. Miller, Santucci and Mastro, JJ., concur.
