People v Amaturo 2004 NY Slip Op 08704 [12 AD3d 613] November 22, 2004 Appellate Division, Second Department Published by New York State Law Reporting Bureau pursuant to Judiciary Law § 431. As corrected through Wednesday, January 19, 2005

The People of the State of New York, Respondent,
v
Lawrence L. Amaturo, Appellant.

—[*1]Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Suffolk County (Hinrichs, J.), rendered July 15, 2003, convicting him of grand larceny in the second degree (two counts), upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution (see People v Contes, 60 NY2d 620 [1983]), we find that it was legally sufficient to establish the defendant's guilt of grand larceny in the second degree beyond a reasonable doubt. Moreover, upon the exercise of our factual review power, we are satisfied that the verdict of guilt was not against the weight of the evidence (see CPL 470.15 [5]).

The sentence imposed was not excessive (see People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80 [1982]).

The defendant's remaining contentions are without merit. Ritter, J.P., S. Miller, Goldstein and Mastro, JJ., concur.
