239 A.D.2d 157; 657 N.Y.S.2d 893; 1997 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 4889
People v. Garcia

Opinion of the Court

Judgment, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Phylis Skloot Bamberger, J.), rendered July 8,1993, convicting defendant, after a jury trial, of robbery in the first degree and grand larceny in the fourth degree, and sentencing him, as a second felony offender, to concurrent terms of 41/2 to 9 years and l1/2 to 3 years, respectively, unanimously affirmed.

Upon our independent review of the facts, we find that the verdict was not against the weight of the evidence (People v Bleakley, 69 NY2d 490). Credibility issues raised by defendant were properly placed before the jury and we find no reason to disturb its findings (see, People v Gaimari, 176 NY 84, 94). Concur—Sullivan, J. P., Milonas, Wallach and Mazzarelli, JJ.
