Appeal from a judgment of the Monroe County Court (Alex R. Renzi, J.), rendered June 10, 2009. The judgment convicted defendant, upon a jury verdict, of robbery in the second degree.
It is hereby ordered that the judgment so appealed from is unanimously affirmed.
Memorandum: Defendant appeals from a judgment convicting him following a jury trial of robbery in the second degree (Penal Law § 160.10 [1]). Viewing the evidence in light of the contested element of larcenous intent as charged to the jury (see generally People v Danielson, 9 NY3d 342, 349 [2007]), we reject defendant’s contention that the verdict is against the weight of the evidence (see generally People v Bleakley, 69 NY2d 490, 495 [1987]). “Where, as here, witness credibility is of paramount importance to the determination of guilt or innocence, the appellate court must give [g]reat deference ... [to the] fact-finder’s opportunity to view the witnesses, hear the testimony and observe demeanor” (People v McMillon, 77 AD3d 1375, 1376 [2010], lv denied 16 NY3d 897 [2011] [internal quotation
