People v. Place

195 A.D.2d 529, 601 N.Y.S.2d 825, 1993 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 7212

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York·Decided July 12, 1993·Published

Opinion

Appeal by the defendant from two judgments of the County Court, Putnam County (Braatz, J.), both rendered October 31, 1990, convicting him of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the fourth degree under Indictment No. 32/90, and criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree (three counts) and criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree (three counts) under Indictment No. 67/90, upon jury verdicts, and imposing sentences.

Ordered that the judgments are 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 verdicts of guilt were not against the weight of the evidence (see, CPL 470.15 [5]).

The defendant’s remaining contentions are either not preserved for appellate review or without merit. Sullivan, J. P., Lawrence, Eiber and Ritter, JJ., concur.
