Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
Viewing the evidence in a 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. 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). A reasonable trier of fact could have readily determined that the defendant possessed the requisite mental intent and intentionally aided and importuned the prosecution's witness in the sale of 2.98 ounces of cocaine to the police (see, People v Kaplan, 76 N.Y.2d 140; People v Nieves, 135 A.D.2d 579).
The court properly admitted testimony concerning prior drug transactions between the prosecution's witness and the defendant for purposes other than to prove criminal propensity, and the probative value of the evidence outweighed any prejudice to the defendant (see, People v Molineux, 168 N.Y. 264; People v Beam, 57 N.Y.2d 241; People v Ventimiglia, 52 N.Y.2d 350).
We have examined the defendant's remaining contentions, including those raised in his supplemental pro se brief, and find them to be without merit. Thompson, J.P., Rosenblatt, Lawrence and Miller, JJ., concur.
