Opinion of the Court

Contrary to the defendant’s contention, the People adduced legally sufficient evidence to disprove his justification defense beyond a reasonable doubt (see Penal Law § 35.15 [2] [a]; People v Contes, 60 NY2d 620). Moreover, the verdict of guilt was not against the weight of the evidence (see CPL 470.15 [5]).

The sentence imposed was not excessive (see People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80).

The defendant’s remaining contention is without merit. Ritter, J.P., Krausman, McGinity and Luciano, JJ., concur.
