MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
Memorandum:
Defendant appeals from a judgment convicting him upon a jury verdict of, inter alia, three counts of falsifying business records in the first degree ( Penal Law § 175.10 ), and one count of insurance fraud in the fifth degree (§ 176.10). Viewing the evidence in light of the elements of the crimes as charged to the jury (see People v. Danielson, 9 N.Y.3d 342, 349, 849 N.Y.S.2d 480, 880 N.E.2d 1 [2007] ), we reject defendant's contention that the verdict is against the weight of the evidence with respect to the element of intent to defraud (see generally People v. Bleakley, 69 N.Y.2d 490, 495, 515 N.Y.S.2d 761, 508 N.E.2d 672 [1987] ). Defendant's remaining contentions are without merit.
It is hereby ORDERED that the judgment so appealed from is unanimously affirmed.
