PEOPLE v. ABDULAZEEZ (2025)

Supreme Court, Appellate Term, New York,

The PEOPLE of the State of New York, Respondent, v. Yakubu ABDULAZEEZ, Defendant-Appellant.

570625 /18

Decided: May 27, 2025

PRESENT: Hagler, P.J., Tisch, James, JJ.

Judgment of conviction (Laurence E. Busching, J.), rendered June 29, 2018, affirmed.

The verdict convicting defendant of sexual abuse in the third-degree (see Penal Law § 130.55) and attempted endangering the welfare of a child (see Penal Law §§ 110, 260.10) was not against the weight of the evidence (see People v Danielson, 9 NY3d 342, 348-349 [2007]). There is no basis for disturbing the court's decision to credit the testimony of the eyewitness to the incident.

We have considered and rejected defendant's remaining contentions.

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE COURT.

Per Curiam.

All concur.
