Opinion
July 3, 1997
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Bronx County (Gerald Sheindlin, J.).
The verdict was based on legally sufficient evidence and was not against the weight of the evidence. There was ample evidence of "physical injury" ( see, Penal Law § 10.00; Matter of Philip A., 49 N.Y.2d 198; Matter of Dominick V., 223 A.D.2d 453).
Defendant's claim that the court was required to make specific findings of fact with respect to his conviction for sexual abuse in the third degree is without merit ( see, People v. Carter, 63 N.Y.2d 530, 539). As the charges herein were not identical, the court was not required to explain the link of the counts charged to specific facts in announcing the verdict ( compare, People v Caliendo, 158 A.D.2d 531).
Concur — Sullivan, J. P., Rosenberger, Wallach and Tom, JJ.
