663 N.Y.S.2d 822

Opinion

September 25, 1997

Appeal from Supreme Court, New York County (Michael Obus, J.).

The verdict was based on legally sufficient evidence and was not against the weight of the evidence. Questions of credibility were properly presented to the jury, and we see no reason to disturb its findings ( see, People v. Gaimari, 176 N.Y. 84, 94).

We perceive no abuse of sentencing discretion.
