The People of the State of New York, Respondent,
v
BrianLeddy, Appellant.

[*1]Robert C. Mitchell, Riverhead, N.Y. (Robert B. Kenney of counsel),for appellant.

Thomas J. Spota, District Attorney, Riverhead, N.Y. (Anne E. Oh of counsel), forrespondent.

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Suffolk County (Mullen, J.),rendered May 31, 2005, convicting him of leaving the scene of an incident without reporting,upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution (see People v Contes,60 NY2d 620 [1983]), we find that it was legally sufficient to establish the defendant's guiltof leaving the scene of an incident without reporting, in violation of Vehicle and Traffic Law§ 600 (2), beyond a reasonable doubt (see People v Toussaint, 40 AD3d 1017 [2007]). Moreover, uponthe exercise of our factual review power (see CPL 470.15 [5]), we are satisfied that theverdict of guilt was not against the weight of the evidence (see People v Romero, 7 NY3d 633 [2006]).

The sentence imposed was not excessive (see People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80 [1982]).

The defendant's remaining contentions are without merit. Ritter, J.P., Miller, Dillon andAngiolillo, JJ., concur.
