People v. Meath

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department
Sep 29, 1995
219 A.D.2d 838 (N.Y. App. Div. 1995)

Opinion

September 29, 1995

Appeal from the Ontario County Court, Sirkin, J.

Present — Green, J.P., Lawton, Callahan, Balio and Boehm, JJ.


Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: The evidence, viewed in the light most favorable to the People (see, People v Contes, 60 N.Y.2d 620, 621), is sufficient to support defendant's conviction of obstructing governmental administration in the second degree (Penal Law § 195.05). Defendant's "acts constituted a knowing, physical interference with and disruption of the official function * * * being performed by [the officer]" (People v Tarver, 188 A.D.2d 938, lv denied 81 N.Y.2d 893; see, People v Case, 42 N.Y.2d 98, 102; People v Ravizee, 146 Misc.2d 679, 682-683).

We have examined defendant's remaining contentions and conclude that they are lacking in merit.
