People v. Mena

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Mar 17, 1997
237 A.D.2d 464 (N.Y. App. Div. 1997)

Opinion

March 17, 1997.

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (J. Goldberg, J.), rendered October 16, 1995, convicting him of illegal possession of a vehicle identification number, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Before: Friedmann, J.P., Florio, McGinity and Luciano, JJ.


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's contention that the evidence supporting his conviction for illegal possession of a vehicle identification number was legally insufficient is unpreserved for appellate review ( see, CPL 470.05; People v Tallarine, 223 AD2d 738). In any event, viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution ( see, People v Contes, 60 NY2d 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).
