People v. Ruiz

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Feb 22, 1999
258 A.D.2d 675 (N.Y. App. Div. 1999)

Opinion

February 22, 1999

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


Ordered that the judgment, as amended, is affirmed.

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 of burglary in the second degree and criminal contempt in the first degree beyond a reasonable doubt. Moreover, upon the exercise of our factual review power, we are satisfied that the verdict of guilt was not against the weight of the evidence ( see, CPL 470.15).

The defendant's remaining contention is unpreserved for appellate review ( see, CPL 470.05), and, in any event, without merit.

Bracken, J. P., Santucci, Friedmann and Florio, JJ., concur.
