Appeal from a judgment of the City Court of Glen Cove, Nassau County (Joseph D. McCann, J.), rendered June 3, 2008. The judgment convicted defendant, after a nonjury trial, of passing a red light.

ORDERED that the judgment of conviction is affirmed.

Defendant was convicted, following a nonjury trial, of failing to stop at a steady red light (Vehicle and Traffic Law § 1111 [d] [1]). 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 prosecution (see People v Contes, 60 NY2d 620 [1983]), was legally sufficient to establish defendant's guilt. Moreover, giving much deference to the trial court's verdict, particularly with respect to its credibility determinations (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. Defendant's remaining contentions similarly lack merit.

Accordingly, the judgment of conviction is affirmed.

Nicolai, P.J., Tanenbaum and Molia, JJ., concur.
