People v. Griffin

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department
Apr 3, 1987
129 A.D.2d 975 (N.Y. App. Div. 1987)

Opinion

April 3, 1987

Appeal from the Monroe County Court, Egan, J.

Present — Doerr, J.P., Boomer, Green, Pine and Lawton, JJ.


Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: Defendant argues for the first time on appeal that failure of the police to maintain a "mug book" without change after it had been shown to the eyewitness and failure of the People to furnish a fingerprint analysis report deprived him of Brady material. Neither of these issues was preserved for review and on this record there is no reason to reach them in the interest of justice pursuant to CPL 470.15 (6). Defendant also argues that the court erred when, after suppressing a suggestive six-picture photo array, it found a sufficient independent basis for the eyewitness to make an in-court identification. The record reveals that the court considered the appropriate factors (see, Neil v Biggers, 409 U.S. 188, 199-200) and there was sufficient evidence for an independent basis (People v Siplin, 120 A.D.2d 933, lv denied 68 N.Y.2d 817; People v Thompson, 97 A.D.2d 554).
