248 A.D.2d 413; 669 N.Y.S.2d 840; 1998 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 1996
People v. Simmons

Opinion of the Court

—Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Nassau County (DeRiggi, J.), rendered January 24, 1996, convicting him of attempted murder in the second degree, robbery in the first degree (two counts), assault in the first degree, and criminal possession of a weapon in the second 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 of guilt was not against the weight of the evidence (see, CPL" 470.15 [5]).

The defendant’s remaining contentions are either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit. Mangano, P. J., Bracken, Miller and Krausman, JJ., concur.
