THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. EMMET COOMBS, Appellant.

The defendant's legal sufficiency claim is unpreserved for appellate review, as his motion for a trial order of dismissal was not specific (see, CPL 470.05; People v. Bynum, 70 N.Y.2d 858). 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 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 (CPL 470.15).

The defendant's remaining contentions are either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit (see, People v. Saunders, 64 N.Y.2d 665; People v. Perdomo, 204 A.D.2d 358; People v. Tate, 200 A.D.2d 602).

O'Brien, J.P., Pizzuto, Friedmann and McGinity, JJ., concur.
