Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Richmond County (Rooney, J.), rendered June 28, 2000, convicting him of attempted assault in the second degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.
John William Zaccone, Staten Island, N.Y., for appellant.
William L. Murphy, District Attorney, Staten Island, N.Y. (Karen F. McGee and Daniela Conti of counsel), for respondent.
Before: MYRIAM J. ALTMAN, J.P., THOMAS A. ADAMS, SANDRA L. TOWNES, A. GAIL PRUDENTI, JJ.
DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
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 legally sufficient to establish the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Moreover, upon the exercise of our factual review power, we are satisfied that the verdict of guilt was not against the weight of the evidence (see, CPL 470.15).
The defendant's remaining contentions are without merit.
ALTMAN, J.P., ADAMS, TOWNES and PRUDENTI, JJ., concur.
