People v Eddie Gumbs

People v Gumbs 2004 NY Slip Op 05671 [8 AD3d 677] June 28, 2004 Appellate Division, Second Department Published by New York State Law Reporting Bureau pursuant to Judiciary Law § 431. As corrected through Wednesday, August 25, 2004

The People of the State of New York, Respondent,
v
Eddie Gumbs, Also Known as Edward A. Gumbs, Appellant.

—[*1]Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Suffolk County (Mullin, J.), rendered May 18, 2001, convicting him of robbery in the first degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's contention that the evidence was legally insufficient to establish his guilt of robbery in the first degree is unpreserved for appellate review (see CPL 470.05 [2]; People v Gray, 86 NY2d 10 [1995]; People v Udzinski, 146 AD2d 245 [1989]). In any event, viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the People (see People v Contes, 60 NY2d 620 [1983]), we find that it was legally sufficient to establish the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

The defendant's remaining contentions either are unpreserved for appellate review, without merit, or do not require reversal. H. Miller, J.P., Goldstein, Luciano and Spolzino, JJ., concur.
