    The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Kelvin Santos, Appellant.
    [839 NYS2d 699]
   Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Marrus, J.), rendered December 23, 2003, convicting him of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree (three counts) and conspiracy in the third degree, upon a jury verdict, 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 [1983]), we find that it was legally sufficient to establish the defendant’s guilt of conspiracy in the third degree beyond a reasonable doubt. Moreover, resolution of issues of credibility is primarily a matter to be determined by the jury, which saw and heard the witnesses, and its determination should be accorded great deference on appeal (see People v Romero, 7 NY3d 633, 644-645 [2006]; People v Mateo, 2 NY3d 383, 410 [2004], cert denied 542 US 946 [2004]). Upon the exercise of our factual review power (see CPL 470.15 [5]), we are satisfied that the verdict of guilt was not against the weight of the evidence (see People v Romero, supra).

The sentence imposed was not excessive (see People v Suitte, 90 AD2d 80, 83 [1982]). Rivera, J.E, Krausman, Skelos and Balkin, JJ., concur.
