People v. Boyd

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Oct 5, 1987
133 A.D.2d 641 (N.Y. App. Div. 1987)

Opinion

October 5, 1987

Appeal from the County Court, Westchester County (Marasco, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant contends that the hearing court improperly denied his motion to suppress the complainant's proposed identification testimony. We disagree. The People met their burden of going forward to establish the reasonableness of the police conduct and the lack of suggestiveness of the procedures used and the defendant did not then prove that the photographic identification procedures were unduly suggestive (see, People v. Ludwigsen, 128 A.D.2d 810, lv denied 69 N.Y.2d 1006).

The defendant also contends that his statutory and constitutional rights to a speedy trial were violated. On or about June 21, 1983, the defendant served a pro se motion on the People raising the speedy trial issue. While the People served a response, there is no indication in the record that this motion was ever filed with the court for judicial disposition. Moreover, during the plea colloquy on June 29, 1983, and the subsequent sentence proceeding on July 21, 1983, no mention of the motion was made. Under these circumstances, we find that the issue has not been properly preserved for review by this court (see, People v. Adams, 38 N.Y.2d 605).

In any event, by pleading guilty, the defendant waived any alleged violation of his statutory right to a speedy trial under CPL 30.30 (see, People v. O'Brien, 56 N.Y.2d 1009). Further, were we to reach the issue, we would find the defendant's claimed violation of his constitutional right to a speedy trial to be without merit (see, People v. Watts, 57 N.Y.2d 299; People v Taranovich, 37 N.Y.2d 442). Lawrence, J.P., Eiber, Spatt and Sullivan, JJ., concur.
