Jun 12, 2000
273 A.D.2d 325 (N.Y. App. Div. 2000)

Opinion

Submitted April 25, 2000.

June 12, 2000.

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Marrus, J.), rendered February 17, 1999, convicting him of criminal facilitation in the fourth degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Lynn W. L. Fahey, New York, N.Y. (Neil L. Fishman of counsel), for appellant.

Charles J. Hynes, District Attorney, Brooklyn, N.Y. (Leonard Joblove and Ann Bordley of counsel), for respondent.

Before: GUY JAMES MANGANO, P.J., WILLIAM C. THOMPSON, GABRIEL M. KRAUSMAN, SANDRA J. FEUERSTEIN, 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).
