The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Louis Brea, Appellant.
[664 NYS2d 544]

Opinion:
Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Joan Sudolnik, J.), rendered October 7, 1994, convicting defendant, after a jury trial, of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree, and sentencing him, as a second felony offender, to a term of 4V2 to 9 years, unanimously affirmed.
The verdict was based on legally sufficient evidence and was not against the weight of the evidence. Questions of credibility and reliability of identification testimony were properly presented to the jury and we see no reason to disturb its findings. Concur—Sullivan, J.
