3615. PEOPLE, res, v. DAMIAN JONES, def-ap — Richard M. Greenberg, Office of the Appellate Defender, New York (Scott M. Danner of counsel), for ap — Cyrus R. Vance, Jr., District Attorney, New York (Ross D. Mazer of counsel), for res — Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Marcy L. Kahn, J.), rendered August 8, 2013, as amended October 2, 2013, convicting defendant, after a jury trial, of enterprise corruption, and sentencing him, as a second felony offender, to a term of 5 to 10 years, unanimously affirmed.
The verdict was supported by legally sufficient evidence, and was not against the weight of the evidence (see People v. Danielson, 9 NY3d 342, 348-349 [2007]). The evidence demonstrated the existence of a criminal enterprise (see Penal Law §§460.10[3], 460.20[1][a]), with a common purpose of making money by obtaining stolen motorcycles and reselling them in the United States and overseas (People v. Wright, 139 AD3d 1094, 1098-1100 [3d Dept], lv denied 28 NY3d 939 [2016]). There was a sufficiently ascertainable structure in which members of the enterprise played specific roles and worked collaboratively to effectuate the common purpose of the enterprise. There were procurers like defendant, who stole the bikes on the streets, distributors or brokers who found a market for the bikes, and dealers who resold the stolen bikes in the United States and overseas. In addition, the enterprise members worked together to swap parts on bikes, alter vehicle identification numbers, and remove any antitheft devices. Bikes were also shipped overseas, which could only be done through clandestine methods in packing them in shipping containers, and which required the coordination of an employed shipper (see People v. Conigliaro, 290 AD2d 87, 88 [2d Dept], lv denied 98 NY2d 650 [2002]). In addition, the enterprise operated for at least well over a year. The evidence demonstrated a level of coordinated activity that went beyond what would be expected in a mere market, and instead evinced the existence of a distinct criminal enterprise with a common purpose and ascertainable structure (see People v. Western Express Intl., Inc., 19 NY3d 652, 658-659 [2012]).
