The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Maria Martinez, Appellant.
    [705 NYS2d 232]
   —Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (George, J.), rendered June 30, 1997, convicting her of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree, criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree, and endangering the welfare of a child, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the People (see, People v Contes, 60 NY2d 620), we find that it was legally sufficient to establish the defendant’s guilt 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). Mangano, P. J., Bracken, Luciano and Smith, JJ., concur.
