People v. Lee, 259 A.D.2d 634, 684 N.Y.S.2d 923, 1999 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 2427 (N.Y. Ct. App. 1999).

Opinion

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Rotker, J.), rendered August 7, 1995, convicting him of murder in the second degree and manslaughter in the first degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

Contrary to the defendant’s contention, viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the People (see, People v Contes, 60 NY2d 620), we find that it was legally sufficient to establish the defendant’s guilt of manslaughter in the first degree beyond a reasonable doubt.

The defendant’s contention that he received the ineffective assistance of counsel is without merit (see, People v Benevento, 91 NY2d 708; People v Flores, 84 NY2d 184; People v Satterfield, 66 NY2d 796; People v Baldi, 54 NY2d 137; People v Wicker, 229 AD2d 602; People v Sullivan, 153 AD2d 223).

The defendant’s remaining contention is without merit. Bracken, J. P., Sullivan, Altman and Friedmann, JJ., concur.
