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 find that the jury's verdict was not against the weight of the evidence (CPL 470.15). Contrary to the defendant's position, the eyewitness accounts of the defendant's deliberate participation in the fatal beating of the victim, coupled with the medical testimony, clearly established that the defendant intended to cause serious physical injury to the victim (Penal Law § 125.20; People v Bruen, 119 A.D.2d 685, lv denied 68 N.Y.2d 768). Furthermore, the trial court did not commit error in refusing to submit the lesser included offense of manslaughter in the second degree to the jury since no reasonable view of the evidence would support such a verdict (see, People v Vargas, 125 A.D.2d 512). Mollen, P.J., Brown, Rubin and Kooper, JJ., concur.
