Court: Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department

Date published: Dec 8, 1997

245 A.D.2d 388 (N.Y. App. Div. 1997)

665 N.Y.S.2d 584

Opinion

December 8, 1997

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Thomas, J.).

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The police conduct in this case was justified in its inception and reasonably limited in scope at each successive step in response to the circumstances presented (see, People v. De Bour, 40 N.Y.2d 210; People v. Hicks, 68 N.Y.2d 234; People v. Duuvon, 77 N.Y.2d 541). Consequently, the Supreme Court correctly denied that branch of the defendant's omnibus motion which was to suppress identification testimony and physical evidence.

Mangano, P.J., Copertino, Krausman and McGinity, JJ., concur.
