Court: Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department

Date published: Apr 7, 1986

119 A.D.2d 589 (N.Y. App. Div. 1986)

Opinion

April 7, 1986

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Balbach, J.).

Judgment affirmed.

The evidence adduced at the trial, viewed in the light most favorable to the People, is sufficient to sustain the defendant's convictions (see, People v. Contes, 60 N.Y.2d 620, 621). Additionally, the defendant knowingly waived his right to be present at sentencing (see, People v. Sanchez, 65 N.Y.2d 436, 444; People v. Davis, 106 A.D.2d 657, 658) and the sentence imposed was not excessive.

We have examined the remainder of the defendant's contentions and have found them to be either unpreserved or without merit. Lazer, J.P., Thompson, Niehoff and Kunzeman, JJ., concur.
