SUSAN CLEMENT, for Kariem L.

GEORGE GUTWIRTH, for Presentment Agency.

Before: Williams, J.P., Mazzarelli, Rosenberger, Wallach, Lerner, JJ.


The court's finding was based on legally sufficient evidence and was not against the weight of the evidence. There is no basis upon which to disturb the court's determinations concerning credibility. The credible evidence established that appellant offered to sell heroin to the undercover officer, and that appellant had a quantity of glassine envelopes of heroin to sell, as observed by the undercover officer, although defendant managed to dispose of the drugs during a chase (see,People v. Samuels, 282 A.D.2d 102, 106-108, lv granted 96 N.Y.2d 909). The credible evidence also established the remaining charges. We have considered and rejected appellant's remaining claims.

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
