    The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Ernest Bentt, Appellant.
    [991 NYS2d 901]
   Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Goldberg, J.), rendered February 22, 2012, convicting him of robbery in the second degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant’s contention that his conviction was not supported by legally sufficient evidence is unpreserved for appellate review (see People v Gray, 86 NY2d 10 [1995]). 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. Upon our independent review pursuant to CPL 470.15 (5), we are satisfied that the verdict of guilt was not against the weight of the evidence (see People v Romero, 7 NY3d 633 [2006]).

The defendant’s remaining contentions are unpreserved for appellate review and, in any event, without merit.

Skelos, J.E, Dickerson, Austin and Duffy, JJ., concur.
