Opinion
June 17, 1997
Appeal from the Family Court, New York County (Ruth Zuckerman, J.).
Suppression of the complainant's in-court identification was properly denied. The complainant's testimony detailing a 2 1/2 to 5 minute daylight encounter and his detailed description of appellant provided clear and convincing evidence of independent source ( see, People v. Williams, 222 A.D.2d 149, lv denied 88 N.Y.2d 1072).
The court's fact-finding determination was not against the weight of the evidence ( see, People v. Bleakley, 69 N.Y.2d 490). We see no reason to disturb the court's findings with respect to the reliability of the identification.
Concur — Milonas, J.P., Ellerin, Nardelli, Williams and Mazzarelli, JJ.
