Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's challenge to the legal sufficiency of the evidence is unpreserved for appellate review ( see CPL 470.05; People v Hawkins, 11 NY3d 484, 494). In any event, viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution, and drawing all reasonable inferences in the prosecution's favor ( see People v Contes, 60 NY2d 620, 621), 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).
The defendant's challenges to remarks made by the prosecutor during summation are unpreserved for appellate review since the defendant failed to object or raised only general objections to the remarks, did not request curative instructions when his objections were sustained, and failed to move timely for a mistrial ( see CPL 470.05; People v Almonte, 23 AD3d 392, 394). In any event, the challenged remarks were neither responsive to the arguments and issues raised by the defense nor fair comment on the evidence ( see People v Montalvo, 34 AD3d 600, 601).
The defendant's contention that he was denied effective assistance of counsel is without merit ( see People v Turner, 5 NY3d 476).
