1Opinion of the Court

Judgment, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Robert Straus, J., at hearing; Roger Hayes, J., at jury trial), rendered April 24, 1995, convicting defendant of robbery in the second degree, and sentencing him, as a second felony offender, to a term of 7 to 14 years, unanimously affirmed.

*476The verdict was based on legally sufficient evidence and was not against the weight of the evidence (see, People v Bleakley, 69 NY2d 490). Issues relating to the reliability of identification testimony were properly placed before the jury, and there is no reason in the record to disturb the jury’s determination.
