Opinion
October 31, 1988
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (Rohl, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is modified, on the law, by reducing the fine imposed on each of the defendant's 19 convictions under the Agriculture and Markets Law from $250 for each count to $200 for each count; as so modified, the judgment is affirmed.
Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the People, we find that it was sufficient to establish the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt (see, People v Contes, 60 N.Y.2d 620). Moreover, upon the exercise of our factual review power, we are satisfied that the verdict was not against the weight of the evidence (CPL 470.15).
Although the court imposed separate fines for 19 of the defendant's 21 convictions, we find the sentence was not excessive (see, People v Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80). However, in imposing a fine of $250 for each of the defendant's 19 convictions under the Agriculture and Markets Law, the court exceeded the maximum fine of $200 allowed by statute (see, Agriculture and Markets Law § 41). Therefore, the fines imposed are reduced to $200 on each of those convictions. Bracken, J.P., Lawrence, Weinstein and Balletta, JJ., concur.
