People v. Dawson

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Nov 2, 1987
134 A.D.2d 274 (N.Y. App. Div. 1987)

Opinion

November 2, 1987

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Aiello, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, and the matter is remitted to the Supreme Court, Kings County, for further proceedings pursuant to CPL 460.50 (5).

Contrary to the defendant's contention, we find that the evidence was legally sufficient to establish that she had entered and remained unlawfully on the premises (see, People v. Malizia, 62 N.Y.2d 755, cert denied 469 U.S. 932). Moreover, upon the exercise of our factual review power we are satisfied that the evidence established the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt and that the verdict was not against the weight of the evidence (CPL 470.15).

We find no merit to the defendant's further contention that she was entitled to a jury instruction regarding the steps necessary to terminate a landlord-tenant relationship. Mangano, J.P., Thompson, Lawrence and Harwood, JJ., concur.
