Judgment affirmed.
Defendant contends that the evidence of his guilt was insufficient, particularly in view of the unreliability of the prosecution's eyewitnesses. Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution, as we must, a rational trier of fact could have found, as did the jury at bar, that the People proved every essential element of the crimes ( see, People v Malizia, 62 N.Y.2d 755, 757, cert denied ___ US ___, 105 S Ct 327; People v. Contes, 60 N.Y.2d 620; People v. Piro, 106 A.D.2d 667). As we have noted, "[t]he resolution of questions relating to the credibility of witnesses is properly a function of the jury and * * * may not be overturned lightly on appeal" ( People v. Rodriguez, 72 A.D.2d 571; see also, People v. Bigelow, 106 A.D.2d 448).
We have considered defendant's remaining contentions and find them to be without merit. Lazer, J.P., Gibbons, O'Connor and Brown, JJ., concur.
