People v. Ames

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Dec 9, 1985
115 A.D.2d 545 (N.Y. App. Div. 1985)

Opinion

December 9, 1985

Appeal from the County Court, Suffolk County (Weissman, J.).


Judgment affirmed.

Defendant was convicted of stealing a wallet from the pocketbook of the owner of a fabric store. The wallet, which was not recovered, contained several items, including a Plymouth Shops credit card. The complainant testified that she called the Plymouth Shops to report the theft. This was sufficient evidence that the credit card was valid and unexpired when stolen to justify the jury's verdict (Penal Law § 155.30; General Business Law § 511).

We have examined defendant's other contentions and find them to be without merit. Gibbons, J.P., Bracken, Lawrence and Kunzeman, JJ., concur.
