Opinion
February 29, 1988
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Richmond County (Sacks, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
Viewing the evidence in light most favorable to the prosecution (see, People v Contes, 60 N.Y.2d 620), we find the evidence 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 contention that the trial court's pretrial Sandoval ruling constituted an abuse of discretion is without merit (see, People v Frumerin, 121 A.D.2d 736, lv denied 68 N.Y.2d 812). Mollen, P.J., Bracken, Rubin and Spatt, JJ., concur.
