People v. Ruiz

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Mar 3, 1997
237 A.D.2d 313 (N.Y. App. Div. 1997)

Opinion

March 3, 1997.

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Lipp, J.), rendered April 21, 1995, convicting him of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Before: Rosenblatt, J.P., Ritter, Copertino and Krausman, JJ.


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

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).

The defendant's remaining contentions are either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit.
