    The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v John Simmons, Also Known as Miles Mussenden, Appellant.
    [596 NYS2d 704]
   —Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Lane, J.), rendered May 23, 1990, convicting him of criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree (two counts) and bribery in the third degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
