The verdict was based on legally sufficient evidence and was not against the weight of the evidence. Evidence that an object was pressed against the victim's back, and that according to the victim the object felt like a gun, satisfied the "displays what appears to be a firearm" element of robbery in the first degree (Penal Law § 160.15; People v. Lopez, 73 N.Y.2d 214; People v. Baskerville, 60 N.Y.2d 374; People v. Garcia, 278 A.D.2d 47, 718 N.Y.S.2d 60).
We perceive no basis for reduction of sentence.
Defendant's remaining contentions are unpreserved and we decline to review them in the interest of justice. Were we to review these claims, we would reject them.
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
