denied11 N.Y.3d 794, 866 N.Y.S.2d 620, 896 N.E.2d 106 [2008] ). Each disputed count charged a single offense and the evidence at trial, as well as the instructions to the jury, made plain that each count involved a single criminal act ( see generally People v. Crampton, 45 A.D.3d 1180, 1182, 845 N.Y.S.2d 877 [2007],lv. denied10 N.Y.3d 861, 860 N.Y.S.2d 487, 890 N.E.2d 250 [2008];People v. Ellis, 45 A.D.3d 1048, 1049, 845 N.Y.S.2d 565 [2007],lvs. denied10 N.Y.3d 764, 767, 854 N.Y.S.2d 326, 329, 883 N.E.2d 1261, 1264 [2008] ). Next, defendant asserts that the proof at trial was insufficient to support his conviction on the four robbery counts.

The officer then watched as the informant passed money to defendant and received, in exchange, a packet of what was later determined to be cocaine. Thus, the record contains legally sufficient evidence linking defendant to the sale in question ( see People v Ellis, 45 AD3d 1048, 1050, lv denied 10 NY3d 764; People v Stephens, 31 AD3d 890, 891, lv denied 7 NY3d 870; People v Golden, 24 AD3d 806, 807, lv denied 6 NY3d 813). In addition, the undercover officer testified that he recognized defendant at the time of the sale as someone whom he had observed on a previous occasion.
