Opinion
June 20, 1988
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Posner, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
Contrary to the defendant's contention, the evidence adduced at his trial was legally sufficient to establish that he caused physical injury to his mother, supporting his convictions of assault in the third degree (Penal Law § 120.00; § 10.00 [9]). The mother testified that she was beaten by the defendant causing her great pain which necessitated medical treatment and hospitalization (see, Matter of Philip A., 49 N.Y.2d 198).
Based on our review of the record we find the defendant's remaining contentions to be either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit. Mollen, P.J., Kunzeman, Rubin and Balletta, JJ., concur.
