The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Juan Torres, Appellant.
    [824 NYS2d 709]

The verdict was based on legally sufficient evidence and was not against the weight of the evidence (see People v Bleakley, 69 NY2d 490 [1987]). There is no basis for disturbing the jury’s determinations concerning identification and credibility. Concur—Saxe, J.P, Sullivan, Williams, Sweeny and Malone, JJ.
