Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Jan 14, 2002
290 A.D.2d 454 (N.Y. App. Div. 2002)

Opinion

1998-11378

Argued December 17, 2001.

January 14, 2002.

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Knipel, J.), rendered November 10, 1998, convicting him of leaving the scene of an incident without reporting, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Andrew C. Fine, New York, N.Y. (Deepa Rajan of counsel), for appellant.

Charles J. Hynes, District Attorney, Brooklyn, N.Y. (Leonard Joblove, Victor Barall, and Elaine Block of counsel), for respondent.

Before: FRED T. SANTUCCI, J.P., NANCY E. SMITH, STEPHEN G. CRANE, BARRY A. COZIER, JJ.


ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.

Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution (see, People v. Contes, 60 N.Y.2d 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).

The defendant's remaining contention is unpreserved for appellate review (see, CPL 470.05), and in any event, is without merit (see, Vehicle and Traffic Law §§ 600[A]; [B]).

SANTUCCI, J.P., SMITH, CRANE and COZIER, JJ., concur.
