Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v James Fullwood, Appellant.
[669 NYS2d 867]

Opinion:
—Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Westchester County (Cirigliano, J.), rendered November 15, 1995, convicting him of robbery in the second degree and grand larceny in the fourth degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant contends that because there were inconsistencies in some of the testimony presented by the People, the verdict was against the weight of the evidence. Resolution of issues of credibility, as well as the weight to be accorded to the evidence presented, however, are primarily questions to be determined by the jury, which saw and heard the witnesses (see, People v Gaimari, 176 NY 84). Its determination should be accorded great weight on appeal and should not be disturbed unless clearly unsupported by the record (see, People v Garafolo, 44 AD2d 86). 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 470.05 [2]).
The defendant's remaining contentions are without merit.
Santucci, J. P., Joy, Friedmann and McGinity, JJ., concur.
