Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Eric Atkins, Appellant.
[663 NYS2d 1002]

Opinion:
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Gorges, J.), rendered April 20, 1995, convicting him of murder in the second degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution (see, People v Contes, 60 NY2d 620), it was legally sufficient to establish the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Moreover, 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 470.15 [5]). Miller, J. P., O'Brien, Santucci and Altman, JJ., concur.
