THE PEOPLE, ETC., respondent, v. USURU RASHEE TUCKER, appellant.

DECISION ORDER

ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.

Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution (see People v. Contes, 60 N.Y.2d 620), we find that it was legally sufficient to establish the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. The prosecution called an undercover police officer, who testified that she purchased counterfeit money from the defendant. Any minor testimonial inconsistencies do not render the testimony of the prosecution witness incredible as a matter of law (see People v. Morris, 244 A.D.2d 361). 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).

The defendant's remaining contentions are either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit.

S. MILLER, J.P., CRANE, COZIER and RIVERA, JJ., concur.
