October 2, 1990

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Felice Shea, J.).

The evidence, when viewed in a light most favorable to the People (see, People v. Kennedy, 47 N.Y.2d 196), sustains the conclusion that defendant, a passenger in a stolen vehicle, knowingly exercised dominion and control over the automobile, so as to establish defendant's guilt of criminal possession of stolen property.
