Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Richard D. Carruthers, J.), rendered December 15, 2009, as amended December 18, 2009, convicting defendant, after a jury trial, of criminal possession of a forged instrument in the second degree, *693 and sentencing her to a term of nine months, unanimously affirmed.
The verdict was not against the weight of the evidence ( see People v. Danielson, 9 N.Y.3d 342, 348–349, 849 N.Y.S.2d 480, 880 N.E.2d 1 [2007] ). There is no basis for disturbing the jury's credibility determinations, including its resolution of alleged conflicts in testimony. The evidence established the requisite intent to defraud ( see e.g. People v. Rodriguez, 71 A.D.3d 450, 897 N.Y.S.2d 42 [2010], affd. 17 N.Y.3d 486, –––N.Y.S.2d ––––, ––– N.E.2d –––– [2011] ).
