Opinion
2563
December 17, 2002.
Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Richard Carruthers, J.), rendered November 8, 1999, convicting defendant, after a jury trial, of robbery in the second degree, and sentencing him, as a second felony offender, to a term of 9 years, unanimously affirmed.
Christopher Wilson, for Respondent.
Laura I. Appleman, for Defendant-appellant.
Before: TOM, J.P., BUCKLEY, FRIEDMAN, MARLOW, GONZALEZ, JJ.
The verdict was based on legally sufficient evidence and was not against the weight of the evidence. Issues concerning identification and credibility were properly considered by the jury and there is no basis for disturbing its determinations (see People v. Bleakley, 69 N.Y.2d 490).
We perceive no basis for reducing the sentence.
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
