The PEOPLE of the State of New York, Respondent,v.Christopher CLARK, Defendant–Appellant.
Richard M. Greenberg, Office of the Appellate Defender, New York (Risa Gerson of counsel), for appellant.Cyrus R. Vance, Jr., District Attorney, New York (Ryan Gee of counsel), for respondent.
Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Roger S. Hayes, J.), rendered May 13, 2008, convicting defendant, after a jury trial, of criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree, and sentencing him, as a second violent felony offender, to a term of 2 to 4 years, unanimously affirmed.
The court properly denied defendant's suppression motion. There is no basis for disturbing the court's credibility determinations, including its evaluation of inconsistencies in testimony. We do not find the police account of the incident to be implausible.
MAZZARELLI, J.P., MOSKOWITZ, ACOSTA, RENWICK, DeGRASSE, JJ., concur.
