Opinion

The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Bruce Wright, Appellant. [724 NYS2d 351] [MAJORITY] —Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Dutchess County (Marlow, J.), rendered September 29, 1998, convicting him of burglary 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), 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, including those raised in his supplemental pro se brief, are either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit. O’Brien, J. P., S. Miller, Smith and Crane, JJ., concur.
