Cyrus R. Vance, Jr., District Attorney, New York (Diane N. Princ of counsel), for respondent.
Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Ruth Pickholz, J.), rendered August 4, 2014, as amended November 18, 2014, convicting defendant, after a jury trial, of criminal possession of a forged instrument in the first degree (two counts) and jostling, and sentencing him, as a second felony offender, to an aggregate term of three to six years, unanimously affirmed.
The verdict was not against the weight of the evidence (People v Daniels, 9 NY3d 342 [2007]). There is no basis for disturbing the jury's credibility determinations, including its evaluation of any inconsistencies in testimony.
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
