Opinion
August 22, 1988
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Juviler, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
After a review of the record of the suppression hearing, we find no basis for disturbing the hearing court's findings that (1) the complainant's identification of the defendant in a police car shortly after the incident was not unduly suggestive (see, People v Sivels, 134 A.D.2d 381, lv denied 70 N.Y.2d 1011; People v Bantum, 133 A.D.2d 699, lv denied 70 N.Y.2d 929; People v Dennis, 125 A.D.2d 325, lv denied 70 N.Y.2d 645), and (2) there was an independent basis for the complainant's in-court identification of the defendant (see, People v Washington, 111 A.D.2d 418, lv denied 66 N.Y.2d 768).
Viewing the trial evidence in a light most favorable to the People (see, People v Contes, 60 N.Y.2d 620), we find that it was sufficient to establish the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Moreover, upon the exercise of our factual review power, we are satisfied that the verdict was not against the weight of the evidence (CPL 470.15).
