MEMORANDUM BY THE COURT.

Appeal by defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County, rendered November 18, 1981, convicting him of criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Judgment affirmed.

According the People the most favorable view of the evidence, as we must (see People v. Benzinger, 36 N.Y.2d 29, 32, 364 N.Y.S.2d 855, 324 N.E.2d 334), the witnesses' testimony was sufficient to establish beyond a reasonable doubt defendant's unlawful possession of a gun.
