14-360. THE PEOPLE, res, v. WILBERT STAFFORD, def-app — Judgment of conviction (Diana M. Boyar, J.), rendered July 1, 2013, affirmed.

Defendant’s present challenge to the legal sufficiency of the evidence supporting his conviction for resisting arrest (see Penal Law §205.30) is unpreserved for appellate review (see People v. Gray, 86 NY2d 10 [1995]), and we decline to review it in the interest of justice. As an alternative holding, we reject it on the merits. The jury could rationally infer that defendant knew he was being arrested when two police officers told him not to move and attempted to handcuff him, and that defendant’s flailing and physical struggle with the officers, resulting in all three falling down in the mud, were deliberate acts to resist arrest (see People v. Badia, 46 AD3d 312 [2007], lv denied 10 NY3d 761 [2008]; People v. Karim, 176 AD2d 670 [1991], lv denied 79 NY2d 859 [1992]; People v. Cvetkovski, 49 Misc 3d 127[A], 2015 NY Slip Op 51379[U] [App Term, 1st Dept 2015]). Nor was the conviction against the weight of the evidence (see People v. Bleakely, 69 NY2d 490, 495 [1987]).
