Opinion
June 24, 1999.
Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Rena Uviller, J., on pretrial motions; Herbert Altman, J., at hearing; Michael Obus, J., at jury trial and sentence).
The identifications of defendant by the purchasing and "ghost" undercover officers were properly found to be confirmatory notwithstanding the passage of 1 1/2 hours between their encounter with defendant in the buy and bust operation and the identifications ( see, People v. Montgomery, 88 N.Y.2d 926; People v. Roberts, 79 N.Y.2d 964). We have considered and rejected defendant's remaining arguments.
Concur — Mazzarelli, J. P., Wallach, Rubin, Andrias and Saxe, JJ.
