PEOPLE v. SCOTT

Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum:

Defendant appeals from a judgment convicting him following a bench trial of criminal possession of stolen property in the third degree (Penal Law § 165.50) and unauthorized use of a vehicle in the second degree (Penal Law § 165.06). Contrary to defendant's contention, the conviction is supported by legally sufficient evidence. There is a "valid line of reasoning and permissible inferences [that] could lead a rational person to the conclusion reached by the fact finder on the basis of the evidence at trial, viewed in the light most favorable to the People" ( People v. Williams, 84 N.Y.2d 925, 926). Additionally, the verdict is not against the weight of the evidence. The credibility determinations of County Court are entitled to great deference ( see, People v. Marshall, 269 A.D.2d 818), and there is no basis to conclude 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). The sentence is not unduly harsh or severe.
