Richard A. Brown, District Attorney, Kew Gardens, N.Y. (John M. Castellano, Alyson Gill, and Tracy Fox of counsel), for respondent.

Before: SONDRA MILLER, J.P., WILLIAM D. FRIEDMANN, ANITA R. FLORIO, NANCY E. SMITH, JJ.


DECISION ORDER

ORDERED that the judgment of conviction 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).

S. MILLER, J.P., FRIEDMANN, FLORIO and SMITH, JJ., concur.
