Appellate Division, First Department

— [*1]

Richard M. Greenberg, Office of the Appellate Defender, New York (Rosemary Herbert of counsel), and Weil Gotshal & Manges LLP, New York (Lucy Muzzy of counsel), for appellant.

Cyrus R. Vance, Jr., District Attorney, New York (David E.A. Crowley of counsel), for respondent.

Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Richard D. Carruthers, J.), rendered December 15, 2009, as amended December 18, 2009, convicting defendant, after a jury trial, of criminal possession of a forged instrument in the second degree, and sentencing her to a term of nine months, unanimously affirmed.

The verdict was not against the weight of the evidence ( see People v Danielson , 9 NY3d 342 , 348-349 [2007]). There is no basis for disturbing the jury’s credibility determinations, including its resolution of alleged conflicts in testimony. The evidence established the requisite intent to defraud ( see e.g. People v Rodriguez , 71 AD3d 450 [2010], affd 17 NY3d 486 [2011]). Concur—Mazzarelli, J.P., Sweeny, Moskowitz, Acosta and Abdus-Salaam, JJ..
