MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
It is hereby ORDERED that the judgment so appealed from be and the same hereby is unanimously affirmed.
Memorandum:
Contrary to the contention of defendant, the verdict convicting him of burglary in the third degree (Penal Law § 140.20) is not against the weight of the evidence. "In a bench trial, no less than a jury trial, the resolution of credibility issues by the trier of fact and its determination of the weight to be accorded the evidence presented are entitled to great deference" ( People v. Van Akin, 197 A.D.2d 845, 845; see People v. Hollins, 278 A.D.2d 932, lv denied 96 N.Y.2d 759; People v. Wooden, 275 A.D.2d 935, 936, lv denied 96 N.Y.2d 740). After viewing photographs from a surveillance camera at the scene of the crime, a police officer who had extensive prior dealings with defendant identified him as the person who committed the burglary. Supreme Court was entitled to reject defendant's alibi defense and, upon our review of the record, we cannot say that the court failed to give the evidence the weight that it should be accorded ( see People v. Bleakley, 69 N.Y.2d 490, 495; People v. Raco, 72 A.D.2d 857).
