People v. Scott

Appellate Term of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Dec 19, 2005
2005 N.Y. Slip Op. 52138 (N.Y. App. Term 2005)

Opinion

2005-104 RO CR.

Decided December 19, 2005.

Appeal from a judgment of the Justice Court of the Village of Suffern, Rockland County (Matthew J. Byrne, J.), rendered on November 22, 2004. The judgment convicted defendant, after a nonjury trial, of speeding.

Judgment of conviction unanimously affirmed.

PRESENT: RUDOLPH, P.J., ANGIOLILLO and TANENBAUM, JJ.


Considering the evidence in the light most favorable to the People ( People v. Contes, 60 NY2d 620), we find that the evidence was legally sufficient to establish defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt ( see People v. Magri, 3 NY2d 562). Moreover, the verdict of guilt was not against the weight of the evidence ( see CPL 470.15). We note that defendant was not entitled to discovery because she was prosecuted on a simplified traffic information charging her with a mere traffic infraction ( see Matter of Miller v. Schwartz, 72 NY2d 869; CPL 240.20 [k]).
