Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Ruth Pickholz, J.), rendered November 9, 2016, as amended December 13, 2016, convicting defendant, after a jury trial, of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree, and sentencing him, as a second felony drug offender previously convicted of a violent felony, to a term of six years, unanimously affirmed.
The verdict was based on legally sufficient evidence and was not against the weight of the evidence (see People v. Danielson , 9 N.Y.3d 342, 348–349, 849 N.Y.S.2d 480, 880 N.E.2d 1 [2007] ). The various attacks on the officers' credibility that defendant advances on appeal were also presented to the jury, and we find no basis for disturbing its credibility determinations.
