Appeal from the Onondaga County Court, Cunningham, J.
Present — Dillon, P.J., Hancock, Jr., Green, Moule and Schnepp, JJ.
Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: Defendant contends the identification was unduly suggestive and unreliable because he was singled out to repeat certain phrases and because the victim who made the identification was elderly and handicapped. We disagree. Since there was no factual support in the record for the contention that the identification procedure was suggestive, a suppression hearing was not required (see CPL 710.60, subd 3; People v Allweiss, 48 N.Y.2d 40, 49; People v Alexander, 88 A.D.2d 749; cf. People v Carrion, 68 A.D.2d 827). Defendant was asked to repeat phrases only because he had inaudibly mumbled prior responses. Although the victim was legally blind, her hearing was adequate. Moreover, we note that defendant failed to allege any improper conduct on the part of the police during the voice identification process (see People v Roberto H., 67 A.D.2d 549). We have considered defendant's other contentions and find them lacking in merit.
