People v. Vaught

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department

258 A.D.2d 602 (N.Y. App. Div. 1999)

Opinion

February 16, 1999

Appeal from the County Court, Rockland County (Berry, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's challenge to the legal sufficiency of the evidence is unpreserved for appellate review ( see, CPL 470.05; People v. Udzinski, 146 A.D.2d 245). In any event, viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution ( see, People v. Contes, 60 N.Y.2d 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 ( see, CPL 470.15 Crim. Proc. [5]).

Contrary to the defendant's contention, the court did not err in refusing to submit the charge of attempted grand larceny in the fourth degree as a lesser-included offense of attempted robbery in the second degree. Grand larceny in the fourth degree based upon the theory that property was taken from the person of the complainant ( see, Penal Law § 155.30) is not a lesser-included offense of robbery in the second degree ( see, People v. Tucker, 221 A.D.2d 670; Matter of Albert R., 215 A.D.2d 563; People v. Cintron, 199 A.D.2d 526; People v. Sidney, 178 A.D.2d 445).

Altman, J. P., Friedmann, Krausman and Luciano, JJ., concur.
