Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Linden Telford, Appellant.
[602 NYS2d 571]

Opinion:
Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: The evidence, viewed in the light most favorable to the People (see, People v Contes, 60 NY2d 620, 621), is sufficient to support defendant's conviction of manslaughter in the second degree and criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree. The verdict is not contrary to the weight of the evidence (see, People v Bleakley, 69 NY2d 490, 495). Defendant's sentence is neither harsh nor excessive.
