DECISION ORDER

ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's contention that the evidence was legally insufficient to establish his guilt of depraved indifference murder is unpreserved for appellate review ( see CPL 470.05; People v. Gray, 86 N.Y.2d 10; People v. Ferguson, 240 A.D.2d 510, 511; People v. Fama, 212 A.D.2d 542, 543). In any event, viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution ( see People v. Contes, 60 N.Y.2d 620), we find that it was legally sufficient to establish the defendant's guilt of that crime beyond a reasonable doubt ( see People v. Sanchez, 98 N.Y.2d 373; People v. Epps, 305 A.D.2d 697, lv denied 100 N.Y.2d 620; People v. Crawford, 295 A.D.2d 361, 362; People v. Flowers, 289 A.D.2d 504; People v. Tankleff, 199 A.D.2d 550, 553-554, affd 84 N.Y.2d 992; cf. People v. Hafeez, 100 N.Y.2d 253, 258-259).

The defendant's remaining contentions are without merit.
