The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Tracy Cummings, Appellant.
    [835 NYS2d 908]
   Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Latella, J), rendered March 10, 2005, convicting him of attempted grand larceny in the third degree, attempted grand larceny in the fourth degree, possession of burglar’s tools, and criminal mischief in the fourth degree, 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 attempted grand larceny in the third degree and attempted grand larceny in the fourth degree beyond a reasonable doubt. Moreover, resolution of issues of credibility is primarily a matter to be determined by the jury, and its determination should be accorded great deference on appeal (see People v Romero, 7 NY3d 633 [2006]; People v Mateo, 2 NY3d 383 [2004], cert denied 542 US 946 [2004]). Upon the exercise of our factual review power (see CPL 470.15), we are satisfied that the verdict of guilt was not against the weight of the evidence (see People v Romero, supra). Prudenti, P.J., Fisher, Dillon and Dickerson, JJ., concur.
