The PEOPLE of the State of New York, Respondent, v. Junior SARITA-SANCHEZ, Defendant-Appellant.
Per Curiam.
Judgment of conviction (Felicia A. Mennin, J.), rendered October 26, 2016, affirmed.
Defendant's conviction of driving while impaired (see Vehicle and Traffic Law § 1192[1] ) was supported by legally sufficient evidence and was not against the weight of the evidence. There is no basis for disturbing the court's determinations concerning credibility (see People v. Danielson , 9 NY3d 342, 348-349 [2007] ). The credited police testimony showed that, after being stopped for driving through a steady red light, defendant exhibited signs of intoxication - his eyes were bloodshot and glassy, his breath had a strong odor of alcohol, and he was unsteady on his feet (see People v. Cruz , 48 NY2d 419, 426-427 [1979], appeal dismissed 446 US 901 [1980] ).
