The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Philip Robinson, Appellant.

[667 NYS2d 270]

—Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Richmond County (Kuffner, J.), rendered June 26, 1995, convicting him of murder in the second degree (two counts), 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]).

We have considered the defendant’s remaining contentions and find them to be without merit. Altman, J. P., Friedmann, Krausman and McGinity, JJ., concur.
