Opinion
March 29, 1993
Appeal from the Family Court, Queens County (DePhillips, J.).
Ordered that the order of disposition is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
The appellant's sole contention on appeal is that arresting officer's testimony was incredible and unworthy of belief. The officer had testified that as he had approached the appellant to ask him some questions, he saw the appellant drop two vials of crack cocaine. However, it is well settled that the determination of the hearing court, with its advantage of having seen and heard the witnesses, should be accorded great weight and should not be disturbed if it is supported by the record (see, Matter of William T., 182 A.D.2d 766; Matter of Judah J., 182 A.D.2d 621). We cannot say that the officer's testimony is "`impossible of belief because it is manifestly untrue, physically impossible, contrary to experience, or self-contradictory'" (People v Garafolo, 44 A.D.2d 86, 88; see also, People v. Boone, 183 A.D.2d 721; People v. Wright, 176 A.D.2d 473; People v. Randall, 175 A.D.2d 142; People v. Charriez, 174 A.D.2d 380). Accordingly, the appellant's contention must be rejected.
