Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Beldock, J.), rendered December 8, 1995, convicting him, upon a jury verdict, of robbery in the second degree 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), we find that 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 (CPL 470.15 [5]).
Additionally, the court properly denied, without a hearing, the defendant’s motion to set aside the verdict pursuant to CPL 330.30 (3), since the moving papers failed to satisfy the statutory requirements to support the defendant’s claim of newly-discovered evidence (see, People v Salemi, 309 NY 208, 215; People v Leka, 209 AD2d 723, 725).
The sentence imposed was not excessive (see, People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80).
The defendant’s remaining contention is without merit. Bracken, J. P., Copertino, Altman and Florio, JJ., concur.
