People v. Houston , 636 N.Y.S.2d 657 ( 1995 )


Menu:
  • —Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Rotker, J.), rendered July 22, 1993, convicting him of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree, criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree, and criminal possession of a controlled substance in the fifth degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

    Ordered that the judgment is 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 verdict was not against the weight of the evidence (see, CPL 470.15 [5]).

    The defendant’s remaining contentions are without merit. Rosenblatt, J. P., Ritter, Hart and Krausman, JJ., concur.
