THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. CHRISTOPHER STEWART, Appellant.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's posttrial motion to dismiss on the ground that the People failed to prove a prima facie case was not sufficiently specific to preserve for appellate review his claim with respect to the issue of identity ( see CPL 470.05; People v. Gray, 86 NY2d 10). In any event, 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).

The defendant's contention that the trial court should have given a circumstantial evidence charge is not preserved for appellate review ( see CPL 470.05; People v. Kitchens, 268 AD2d 444) and, in any event, is without merit.
