Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (Copertino, J.), rendered March 27, 2000, convicting him of leaving the scene of an incident without reporting, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.
Charles M. Newell, Quogue, N.Y., for appellant.
James M. Catterson, Jr., District Attorney, Riverhead, N.Y. (John J. Ribeiro of counsel), for respondent.
Before: LEO F. McGINITY, J.P., DANIEL F. LUCIANO, SANDRA J. FEUERSTEIN, A. GAIL PRUDENTI, JJ.
DECISION ORDER
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 (see, People v. Perez, 208 A.D.2d 867; People v. Lewis, 162 A.D.2d 760, 764). Moreover, the defendant's request for an expanded charge was properly denied.
McGINITY, J.P., LUCIANO, FEUERSTEIN and PRUDENTI, JJ., concur.
