Majority

p. 550
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Riccardo Arrington, Appellant.

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Westchester County (Braatz, J.), rendered July 16, 1984, convicting him of robbery in the second degree (four counts) and criminal use of a firearm in the second degree (three counts), after a nonjury trial, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The resolution of questions relating to the credibility of witnesses is properly a function of the finder of fact, whose determination will not be lightly overturned (People v Gross, 111 AD2d 873 ; People v Rodriguez, 72 AD2d 571 ). The trial court’s verdict in the instant case is well supported by the evidence and should not be disturbed. Rubin, J. P., Lawrence, Kooper and Spatt, JJ., concur.
