People v. Vasquez

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Mar 30, 1998
248 A.D.2d 737 (N.Y. App. Div. 1998)

Opinion

March 30, 1998

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Giaccio, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

Viewing the evidence in a 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).

The defendant's remaining contentions are without merit ( see, People v. Pena, 50 N.Y.2d 400, cert. denied 449 U.S. 1087; see also, People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80).

Joy, J. P., Krausman, Florio and Luciano, JJ., concur.
