The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v. James Chambers, Appellant

The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v James Chambers, Appellant. [722 NYS2d 418] [MAJORITY] —Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Westchester County (Perone, J.), rendered June 3, 1998, convicting him of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree, criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree, and criminal possession of a controlled substance in the seventh 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, involve matters dehors the record, or are without merit. Ritter, J. P., Santucci, S. Miller and Smith, JJ., concur.
