Memorandum: Defendant appeals from a judgment convicting him upon a jury verdict of two counts of criminal possession of a forged instrument in the second degree (Penal Law § 170.25). Contrary to the contention of defendant, the conviction is supported by legally sufficient evidence and the verdict is not against the weight of the evidence ( see People v. Colon, 306 AD2d 213, 214, lv denied 1 NY3d 539; People v. Washington, 299 AD2d 286, 286-287, lv denied 100 NY2d 543; see generally People v. Bleakley, 69 NY2d 490, 495). Finally, the sentence is not unduly harsh or severe.
