THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. LORELL PURDIE, Appellant.

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 Gray, 86 NY2d 10, 19). In any event, viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution ( 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 ( see Penal Law § 265.03). Moreover, upon the exercise of our factual review power ( see CPL 470.15), 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 contention, raised in his supplemental pro se brief, that he was deprived of the effective assistance of counsel, is without merit ( see People v Baldi, 54 NY2d 137; People v Gonzalez, 44 AD3d 790).

The defendant's claim, also raised in his supplemental pro se brief, that the People violated their disclosure obligations under Brady v Maryland ( 373 US 83), is based on factual assertions outside the record and thus, is not reviewable on direct appeal ( see People v Williams, 43 AD3d 729).

The defendant's remaining contentions, including those raised in his supplemental pro se brief, are unpreserved for appellate review and, in any event, are without merit.
