SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK
APPELLATE TERM: 9th and 10th JUDICIAL DISTRICTS
PRESENT: : RUDOLPH, P.J., MOLIA and SCHEINKMAN, JJ
2007-1689 OR CR.

The People of the State of New York, Respondent,

against

Mohamed Sarhan, Appellant.

Appeal from a judgment of the Justice Court of the Village of Goshen, Orange County (Thomas J. Cione, J.), rendered September 19, 2007. The judgment convicted defendant, after a nonjury trial, of driving on the left of official markings which indicate that a portion of the highway is especially hazardous.

Judgment of conviction affirmed.

After a nonjury trial, defendant was convicted of violating Vehicle and Traffic Law § 1126 (a) in that he drove to the left of official markings which indicate that a portion of the highway is especially hazardous. Upon the record presented, we find that defendant's guilt was established beyond a reasonable doubt. The evidence of defendant's guilt included the People's proof as well as defendant's own admissions that he drove across the traffic markings in question. The other issues raised herein are either similarly lacking in merit or unpreserved for appellate review. Accordingly, the judgment of conviction is affirmed.

Rudolph, P.J., Molia and Scheinkman, JJ., concur.
