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. 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 prosecutor's use of a peremptory challenge against the sole black juror in the venire, without more, did not establish a prima facie case of purposeful discrimination (see, Batson v. Kennedy, 476 U.S. 79; People v. Payne, 88 N.Y.2d 172; People v. Cousin, 272 A.D.2d 477; People v. Blackford, 256 A.D.2d 619). Moreover, the prosecutor, in cross-examining the defendant on his curfew, did not contravene the Sandoval ruling (see, People v. Sandoval, 34 N.Y.2d 371).
The sentence imposed was not excessive (see, People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80).
