People v. Melendez

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Jul 10, 1989
152 A.D.2d 641 (N.Y. App. Div. 1989)

Opinion

July 10, 1989

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Farlo, J.).


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 of the crimes charged. Moreover, upon the exercise of our factual review power, we find that the verdict of guilt was not against the weight of the evidence (see, CPL 470.15). Nor was it an improvident exercise of discretion for the trial court to impose consecutive sentences on the burglary and attempted burglary counts (see, People v Day, 73 N.Y.2d 208).

We have considered the defendant's remaining contentions and find them to be unpreserved or without merit. Kunzeman, J.P., Kooper, Harwood and Rosenblatt, JJ., concur.
