September 25, 2003.
Judgment, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Denis Boyle, J.), rendered February 21, 2001, convicting defendant, after a jury trial, of assault in the first degree, criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree and criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree, and sentencing him, as a persistent violent felony offender, to concurrent terms of 25 years to life, 25 years to life and 15 years to life, respectively, unanimously affirmed.
Nancy D. Killian, for respondent.
Bruce D. Austern, for defendant-appellant.
Before: Saxe, J.P., Rosenberger, Williams, Lerner, Friedman, JJ.
The verdict was based on legally sufficient evidence and was not against the weight of the evidence. There is no basis for disturbing the jury's determinations concerning identification and credibility (see People v. Bleakley, 69 N.Y.2d 490). Three witnesses, two of whom were acquainted with defendant, made reliable identifications.
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
