The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Luis Miranda, Appellant.
[38 NYS3d 793]

Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Gregory Carro, J.), rendered January 31, 2014, convicting defendant, after a jury trial, of two counts of criminal contempt in the second degree, and sentencing him to a conditional discharge for a period of one year, unanimously affirmed.

The verdict was not against the weight of the evidence (see People v Danielson, 9 NY3d 342 , 348-349 [2007]). There is no basis for disturbing the jury’s credibility determinations. Among other things, the victim’s testimony was generally corroborated by a videotape, and defendant’s arguments to the contrary are unavailing.

Concur — Mazzarelli, J.P., Sweeny, Acosta, Moskowitz and Gesmer, JJ.
