Opinion
February 20, 1996
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Blumenfeld, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The hearing court properly determined that the police possessed probable cause to arrest the defendant ( see, People v. Bigelow, 66 N.Y.2d 417; People v. McRay, 51 N.Y.2d 594; People v. Miner, 42 N.Y.2d 937; People v. Oden, 36 N.Y.2d 382; People v. Rivera, 166 A.D.2d 678).
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 beyond a reasonable doubt ( see, People v. Manini, 79 N.Y.2d 561; People v. Johnson, 209 A.D.2d 721). 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 sentence imposed was not excessive ( see, People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80).
The defendant's remaining contentions are either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit. O'Brien, J.P., Santucci, Altman and Goldstein, JJ., concur.
