SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE TERM, FIRST DEPARTMENT
PRESENT: Hagler, P.J., Tisch, James, JJ.
570625/18

The People of the State of New York, Respondent,

against

Yakubu Abdulazeez, Defendant-Appellant.

Defendant appeals from a judgment of the Criminal Court of the City of New York, Bronx County (Laurence E. Busching, J.), rendered June 29, 2018, after a nonjury trial, convicting him of sexual abuse in the third degree and attempted endangering the welfare of a child, and imposing sentence.

Per Curiam.

Judgment of conviction (Laurence E. Busching, J.), rendered June 29, 2018, affirmed.

The verdict convicting defendant of sexual abuse in the third-degree (see Penal Law § 130.55) and attempted endangering the welfare of a child (see Penal Law §§ 110, 260.10) 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 court's decision to credit the testimony of the eyewitness to the incident.

We have considered and rejected defendant's remaining contentions.

All concur.

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE COURT.
