People v. Meath
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York · Decided September 29, 1995
219 A.D.2d 838; 632 N.Y.S.2d 1014; 1995 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 10895
People v. Meath

Opinion of the Court

Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: The evidence, viewed in the light most favorable to the People (see, People v Contes, 60 NY2d 620, 621), is sufficient to support defendant’s conviction of obstructing governmental administration in the second degree (Penal Law § 195.05). Defendant’s "acts constituted a knowing, physical interference with and disruption of the official function * * * being performed by [the officer]” (People v Tarver, 188 AD2d 938, lv denied 81 NY2d 893; see, People v Case, 42 NY2d 98, 102; People v Ravizee, 146 Misc 2d 679, 682-683).

We have examined defendant’s remaining contentions and conclude that they are lacking in merit. (Appeal from Judgment of Ontario County Court, Sirkin, J. — Assault, 2nd Degree.) Present — Green, J. P., Lawton, Callahan, Balio and Boehm, JJ.
