Opinion
February 25, 1985
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (De Lury, J.).
Judgment affirmed.
On this appeal defendant claims that his pretrial motion to suppress certain identification testimony was improperly denied. On review of the record, we find that the showup which occurred shortly after the burglary and near the scene of the crime was an appropriate procedure conducted in the interest of securing a prompt and reliable identification of the perpetrator ( People v Love, 57 N.Y.2d 1023; People v Holly, 106 A.D.2d 403; People v Mayers, 100 A.D.2d 558). Moreover, there was an independent basis for the in-court identification, as the complainant who made the identification observed the defendant during the perpetration of the crime in her bedroom and as he fled down the stairs exiting her home ( see, People v Anderson, 107 A.D.2d 751; People v Mayers, supra). Mangano, J.P., Bracken, Weinstein and Niehoff, JJ., concur.
