Defendant's challenge to the sufficiency of the evidence regarding his convictions for larceny and attempted larceny of Tiffany's jewelry store is unpreserved for appellate review, as his motion to dismiss was not specifically directed at the deficiencies now raised on appeal ( see, People v Gray, 86 NY2d 10), and we decline to review in the interest of justice. Were we to review it, we would find that the evidence overwhelmingly established that, at the time he passed the bad checks, defendant intended or believed that the drawee banks, where defendant had opened accounts with other worthless checks, would refuse payment upon presentation (Penal Law § 190.05; § 190.10 [1], [2] [b]). Defendant's perseverance in passing the worthless checks at Tiffany's did not demonstrate that he believed the checks would be honored by the drawees, as he suggests, but only that Tiffany's would approve the checks enabling him to escape with the merchandise. Nor do we find, upon an independent review of the facts, that the verdict was against the weight of the evidence ( see, People v Bleakley, 69 NY2d 490).
The court did not commit reversible error by adding to the verdict sheet, over objection, the names of the financial institutions applicable to the individual larceny counts, since no statutory elements or text was added that might skew the jury deliberations ( see, People v Chaudhry, 186 AD2d 48, lv denied 80 NY2d 973; cf., People v Damiano, 87 NY2d 477).
Further, the consecutive sentences for the convictions relating to the larceny and attempted larcenies of Tiffany's were proper, inasmuch as those convictions involved the wholly distinct acts of stealing from the jewelry establishment, contrasted with thefts from financial institutions underlying the scheme to defraud ( cf., People v Sanchez, 195 AD2d 578, 580, mod on other grounds 84 NY2d 440).
