Opinion
May 15, 1989
Appeal from the Family Court, Queens County (Friedman, J.).
Ordered that the order of disposition is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
On the instant appeal, the appellant argues, inter alia, that a pretrial identification procedure conducted by the police on July 1, 1987 was impermissibly suggestive. We disagree.
The record indicates that the appellant was well known to the victim prior to the crime. Accordingly, the July 1, 1987 identification procedure was "more in the nature of a confirmation" and thus "the issue of suggestiveness is not relevant" (People v Fleming, 109 A.D.2d 848, 849). We have reviewed the appellant's remaining argument and find it to be without merit (People v Hawkins, 55 N.Y.2d 474, 487). Mangano, J.P., Brown, Eiber and Sullivan, JJ., concur.
