Opinion
November 20, 1995
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Kohm, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
Viewing the evidence in the 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 (see, People v Herring, 83 N.Y.2d 780; People v Manini, 79 N.Y.2d 561; People v Lam Lek Chong, 45 N.Y.2d 64; People v Dean, 200 A.D.2d 582). 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).
It was not error for the court to deny the defendant's request to charge the jury on the agency defense since there was no reasonable view of the evidence which warranted such charge (see, People v Herring, 83 N.Y.2d 780, supra; People v Argibay, 45 N.Y.2d 45; People v Roche, 45 N.Y.2d 78, cert denied 439 U.S. 958).
The defendant's remaining contentions are without merit. Thompson, J.P., Altman, Krausman and Goldstein, JJ., concur.
