ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
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 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 trial court properly determined that, in making each of his Batson challenges (see, Batson v. Kentucky, 476 U.S. 79), the defendant failed to make the requisite prima facie showing of purposeful discrimination (see, People v. Allen, 86 N.Y.2d 101). In any event, the record supports the court's conclusion that the prosecutor's proffered justifications for each of the peremptory challenges, all of which were race-neutral, were not pretextual (see, People v. Allen, supra, at 104).
The defendant's remaining contentions are unpreserved for appellate review and, in any event, without merit (see, CPL 470.05; cf., People v. Albert, 85 N.Y.2d 851).
