62—The People of the State of New York, Respondent,
v
Kariem Broadnax, Appellant.

—[*1] Lynn W. L. Fahey, New York, N.Y. (Erin R. Collins of counsel), for appellant.

Richard A. Brown, District Attorney, Kew Gardens, N.Y. (John M. Castellano, Johnnette Traill, and Danielle Hartman of counsel), for respondent.

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Braun, J.), rendered December 14, 2006, convicting him of assault in the third degree, after a nonjury trial, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution (see People v [*2]Contes, 60 NY2d 620 [1983]), we find that it was legally sufficient to establish the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Moreover, upon our independent review pursuant to CPL 470.15 (5), we are satisfied that the verdict of guilt was not against the weight of the evidence (see People v Romero, 7 NY3d 633 [2006]). Prudenti, P.J., Dillon, Covello and Leventhal, JJ., concur.
