p. 310The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Leon Vanbeverhoudt, Appellant. [612 NYS2d 903]
—Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Goldberg, J.), rendered September 11, 1992, convicting him of robbery in the first degree and robbery in the second 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 of guilt was not against the weight of the evidence (see, CPL 470.15 [5]). Thompson, J. P., Pizzuto, Santucci and Goldstein, JJ., concur.
