Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v James H. Jordan, Appellant.
[661 NYS2d 816]

Opinion:
Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: The testimony of two prosecution witnesses, although inconsistent in some respects, was not incredible as a matter of law (see, People v Everett, 234 AD2d 915). The credibility of the witnesses and the weight to be accorded their testimony were matters for jury resolution (see, People v Gruttola, 43 NY2d 116, 122), and there is no basis in this record to disturb the jury's verdict (see, People v Bleakley, 69 NY2d 490, 495). We further conclude that the sentence is not unduly harsh or severe. (Appeal from Judgment of Niagara County Court, Hannigan, J.—Assault, 1st Degree.) Present—Denman, P.
