Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v David Rivera, Appellant.
[830 NYS2d 656]

Opinion:
Supreme Court, New York County (William A. Wetzel, J.), rendered October 25, 2004, convicting defendant, after a jury trial, of attempted robbery in the first degree and assault in the second degree, and sentencing him, as a second felony offender, to an aggregate term of 12 years, respectively, unanimously affirmed.
The verdict was not against the weight of the evidence (see People v Bleakley, 69 NY2d 490, 495 [1987]). There is no basis for disturbing the jury's determinations concerning identification and credibility, including its resolution of inconsistencies in testimony and its rejection of defendant's alibi defense.
