Appeal from a judgment of the City Court of Yonkers, Westchester County (Thomas R. Daly, J.), rendered December 21, 2007. The judgment convicted defendant, after a nonjury trial, of disorderly conduct.

Judgment of conviction affirmed.

Upon a review of the record on appeal, we are of the opinion that the evidence, when viewed in the light most favorable to the People (see People v Contes, 60 NY2d 620 [1983]), was legally sufficient to establish defendant's guilt of disorderly conduct (Penal Law § 240.20 [2]). Moreover, giving much deference to the trial court's verdict, particularly with respect to its credibility determinations (see People v Lane, 7 NY3d 888, 890 [2006]; see also People v Romero, 7 NY3d 633, 644-645 [2006]), even as we
conduct our own review of the evidence (see People v Danielson, 9 NY3d 342 [2007]), we find that the verdict was not against the weight of the evidence. The People's case was supported by consistent and credible testimony. In view of the foregoing, the judgment of conviction is affirmed.

Rudolph, P.J., and LaCava, J., concur.
