200 A.D.2d 757

People v. Faust

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York · decided 1994-01-31

Decided 1994-01-31

¶1—Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Orange County (Paño Z. Patsalos, J.), rendered June 26, 1991, convicting him of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree, criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree, and criminal possession of a controlled substance in the fifth degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

¶2Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

¶3Viewing the evidence adduced at trial in the light most favorable to the People (see, People v Contes, 60 NY2d 620, 621), we find that it was legally sufficient to establish the defendant’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Moreover, upon the exercise of our factual review power, we are satisfied that *758the verdict of guilt was not against the weight of the evidence (see, CPL 470.15 [5]).

¶4The sentence imposed was neither unduly harsh nor excessive (see, People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80).

¶5The defendant’s remaining contentions are either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit. Sullivan, J. P., Rosenblatt, Pizzuto and Joy, JJ., concur.
