Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Derek Boulware, Appellant.
[888 NYS2d 882]

Opinion:
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]). There is no basis for disturbing the jury's credibility determinations, including its rejection of defendant's testimony that each of the two incidents was a drug-related transaction instead of a robbery.
We perceive no basis for reducing the sentence. Concur— Saxe, J.P., Friedman, Acosta, Renwick and Abdus-Salaam, JJ.
