    The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Kyung Eun Sung, Appellant.
    [990 NYS2d 831]
   Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Reichbach, J.), rendered February 8, 2012, convicting her of offering a false instrument for filing in the second degree (two counts), after a nonjury trial, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution (see People v Contes, 60 NY2d 620, 621 [1983]), we find that it was legally sufficient to establish the defendant’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Moreover, in fulfilling our responsibility to conduct an independent review of the weight of the evidence (see CPL 470.15 [5]; People v Danielson, 9 NY3d 342 [2007]), we nevertheless accord great deference to the factfinder’s opportunity to view the witnesses, hear the testimony, and observe demeanor (see People v Mateo, 2 NY3d 383, 410 [2004]; People v Bleakley, 69 NY2d 490, 495 [1987]). Upon reviewing the record here, we are satisfied that the verdict of guilt was not against the weight of the evidence (see People v Romero, 7 NY3d 633 [2006]).

Rivera, J.E, Sgroi, Hinds-Radix and Maltese, JJ., concur.
