Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York · Decided July 21, 1997
241 A.D.2d 531; 661 N.Y.S.2d 530; 1997 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 7793
People v. Velario

Opinion of the Court

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Nassau County (Jonas, J.), rendered May 4, 1995, convicting him of criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree and criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree (three counts), 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. 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 unpreserved for appellate review or without merit. O’Brien, J. P., Joy, Gold-stein and Luciano, JJ., concur.
