Opinion

October 7, 1992

Appeal from the Steuben County Court, Scudder, J.

Present — Boomer, J.P., Pine, Lawton, Fallon and Doerr, JJ.


Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: The facts that defendant had been seeing a psychiatrist who prescribed medication to relieve anxiety and that he had been treated for alcohol abuse did not raise a doubt about defendant's competency to understand the proceedings against him, appreciate their significance, and actively aid his attorney in his defense (see, Lokos v Capps, 625 F.2d 1258, 1261, reh denied 631 F.2d 732; People v Dudasik, 112 A.D.2d 20).

We reject defendant's contention that the verdict was against the weight of the evidence.
