People v. Bloomfield

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department

286 A.D.2d 738 (N.Y. App. Div. 2001)

Opinion

Submitted September 4, 2001.

September 17, 2001.

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Erlbaum, J.), rendered April 29, 1999, convicting him of assault in the second degree and endangering the welfare of a child, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Randall D. Unger, Kew Gardens, N.Y., for appellant.

Richard A. Brown, District Attorney, Kew Gardens, N.Y. (John M. Castellano, Nicole J. Caferri, and Kristen Marcelle of counsel), for respondent.

Before: DAVID S. RITTER, J.P., SONDRA MILLER, DANIEL F. LUCIANO, STEPHEN G. CRANE, JJ.


ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.

Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the People (see, People v. Contes, 60 N.Y.2d 620), we find that it was legally sufficient to establish the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt (see, People v. Gordon, A.D.2d [2d Dept., June 18, 2001]). Moreover, upon the exercise of our factual review power (see, CPL 470.15), we are satisfied that the verdict of guilt was not against the weight of the evidence.

The defendant's claim that he was deprived of his right to the effective assistance of counsel is without merit (see, People v. Benevento, 91 N.Y.2d 708; People v. Baldi, 54 N.Y.2d 137).

The defendant's remaining contentions are either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit.
