## Opinion text

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Rutledge, J.), rendered January 25, 1995, convicting him of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree and criminal sale of a controlled substance in or near school grounds, 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 ), we find that it was legally sufficient to establish beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant acted as a steerer in the sale of crack cocaine to an undercover police officer (see, People v Herring, 83 NY2d 780 ). Moreover, upon the exercise of our factual review power, we are satisfied that the verdict of guilt was not against the weight of the evidence (see, CPL 470.15 [5]).
The defendant’s remaining contentions are without merit. Thompson, J. P., Joy, Friedmann and Krausman, JJ., concur.
