People v. Meyers

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Oct 31, 1988
143 A.D.2d 1053 (N.Y. App. Div. 1988)

Opinion

October 31, 1988

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Fisher, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant contends that the evidence did not establish that he was not authorized to sell or dispense drugs and, therefore, that he unlawfully sold a substance containing cocaine. However, viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution (see, People v Contes, 60 N.Y.2d 620), we find that it was legally sufficient to establish the defendant's guilt. Moreover, upon the exercise of our factual review power, we are satisfied that the verdict was not against the weight of the evidence (CPL 470.15).

We find that the sentence imposed was not excessive (see, People v Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80). Bracken, J.P., Lawrence, Weinstein and Balletta, JJ., concur.
