People v. Washington — 143 A.D.2d 212

Majority

p. 212

The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Tyrone Washington, Appellant.

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Slavin, J.), rendered July 21, 1986, convicting him of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the second degree and criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution (see, People v Contes, 60 NY2d 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 was not against the weight of the evidence (CPL 470.15 [5]).

We also find that the sentence imposed was not excessive (see, People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80 , 85). Mollen, P. J., Mangano, Kunzeman and Weinstein, JJ., concur.
