v

Victor Suazo Lopez, Defendant-Appellant.




Steven Banks, The Legal Aid Society, New York (Susan Epstein
of counsel), for appellant.
Robert T. Johnson, District Attorney, Bronx (Karen Swiger of
counsel), for respondent.

Judgment, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Megan Tallmer, J.), rendered March 11, 2009, convicting defendant, after a jury trial, of burglary in the second degree, and sentencing him to a term of 15 years, unanimously affirmed.

The verdict was based on legally sufficient evidence and was not against the weight of the evidence (see People v Danielson, 9 NY3d 342, 348-349 [2007]). The victim's identification testimony was corroborated by defendant's behavior after the crime and his incriminating statements to the police.

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER
OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
