People v. Staton

155 A.D.2d 960 (N.Y. App. Div. 1989)

Opinion

November 15, 1989

Appeal from the Monroe County Court, Marks, J.

Present — Dillon, P.J., Green, Pine, Balio and Davis, JJ.


Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: We disagree with defendant's contention on appeal that the evidence of knowing possession was legally insufficient to sustain his convictions of one count each of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the first and third degrees, two counts of criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree, and one count of unlawful possession of marihuana. Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the People, and giving it the benefit of every reasonable inference (see, People v Tejeda, 140 A.D.2d 985, affd 73 N.Y.2d 958), we find that there was a valid line of reasoning to support the convictions. We have examined defendant's remaining arguments on appeal and find that none has merit.
