Opinion

October 10, 1989

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


Ordered that the judgment is reversed, on the law, the indictment is dismissed and the matter is remitted to the Supreme Court, Kings County, for the purpose of entering an order in its discretion pursuant to CPL 160.50.

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 not legally sufficient to support the defendant's conviction (see, People v Padilla, 146 A.D.2d 813).

In view of our decision to reverse the judgment of conviction and to dismiss the indictment, we do not address the defendant's remaining contentions. Mangano, J.P., Thompson, Eiber and Balletta, JJ., concur.
