People v. Rodriguez

251 A.D.2d 267, 675 N.Y.S.2d 531, 1998 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 7801

Opinion

—Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Jay Gold, J.), rendered February 21, 1997, convicting defendant, after a nonjury trial, of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree, and sentencing him, as a second felony offender, to a term of 4V2 to 9 years, unanimously affirmed.

The verdict was based on legally sufficient evidence and was not against the weight of the evidence. There was ample evidence of defendant’s participation as a steerer in the drug transaction. We see no reason to disturb the court’s credibility determinations. Concur — Ellerin, J. P., Tom, Mazzarelli and Saxe, JJ.
