—[*1]
Robert M. Morgenthau, District Attorney, New York (Timothy C. Stone of counsel), for
respondent.
Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Edward J. McLaughlin, J.), rendered October 11, 2005, convicting defendant, after a jury trial, of attempted robbery in the second and third degrees, and sentencing him, as a second felony offender, to concurrent terms of six years and 2 to 4 years, respectively, unanimously affirmed.
The evidence at trial was sufficient to establish the "display" element of attempted robbery in the second degree (see Penal Law § 160.10 [2] [b]; People v Lopez, 73 NY2d 214, 220-222 [1989]; People v Baskerville, 60 NY2d 374, 381 [1983]; People v Simmons, 186 AD2d 95, 97 [1992], lv denied 81 NY2d 976 [1993]), and the verdict was not against the weight of the evidence (see People v Bleakley, 69 NY2d 490 [1987]).
We perceive no basis to reduce the sentence. Concur—Tom, J.P., Saxe, Friedman and Williams, JJ.
