14-314. THE PEOPLE, res, v. RONALDSON BACUETES, def-app — Judgment of conviction (James M. Burke, J.), rendered May 21, 2012, affirmed.

The verdict convicting defendant of attempted petit larceny (see Penal Law §§110.00/155.25) was supported by legally sufficient evidence and was not against the weight of the evidence. There was ample evidence of defendant’s guilt, including the testimony of the complaining witness, several bank employees and a police detective, which supported the conclusion that defendant acted with larcenous intent when he removed the complainant’s paycheck out of a supervisor’s desk drawer, signed his name on the back of the paycheck and deposited it into his bank account, all without the complainant’s permission or knowledge (see People v. Lane, 25 AD3d 517 [2006], affd 7 NY3d 888 [2006]; see also People v. Allen, 30 AD3d 825 [2006]). There is no basis for disturbing the court’s credibility determinations, including its rejection of defendant’s explanation for his conduct (see People v. Marks, 67 AD3d 477 [2009], lv denied 14 NY3d 803 [2010]).
