The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Brandon LaTempa, Appellant.
    [17 NYS3d 293]
   Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Laura A. Ward, J.), rendered January 13, 2014, convicting defendant, after a jury trial, of criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree and menacing in the second degree, and sentencing him, as a second felony offender, to an aggregate term of 2½ to 5 years, unanimously affirmed.

The verdict is not against the weight of the evidence (see People v Danielson, 9 NY3d 342, 348-349 [2007]). There is no basis for disturbing the jury’s credibility determinations, including its evaluation of inconsistencies in testimony.

We perceive no basis for reducing the sentence.
