People v. Allman

280 A.D.2d 384, 721 N.Y.S.2d 229, 2001 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 1742

Opinion

—Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Jeffrey Atlas, J.), rendered August 7, 1998, convicting defendant, after a nonjury trial, of criminal contempt in the first degree (two counts) and assault in the third degree, and sentencing him, as a second felony offender, to consecutive terms of 2 to 4 years and IV2 to 3 years, concurrent with a term of 1 year, unanimously affirmed.

The court’s verdict was based on legally sufficient evidence. Moreover, the verdict was not against the weight of the evi dence. Defendant’s pattern of conduct provided ample evidence that “with intent to harass, annoy, threaten or alarm [the complainant]” defendant “repeatedly made telephone calls to [the complainant]” within the meaning of the statute.

We perceive no basis for reduction of sentence. Concur— Rosenberger, J. P., Nardelli, Andrias, Ellerin and Saxe, JJ.
