Opinion
April 10, 1989
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Zelman, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
Contrary to the defendant's contentions, the hearing court properly determined that the identification procedures employed by the police were not unduly suggestive. We note that the record amply supports the court's holding that there existed an independent basis supporting the identifications by the prosecution witnesses (see, e.g., People v. Fappiano, 139 A.D.2d 524, 525, lv denied 72 N.Y.2d 918). Kunzeman, J.P., Kooper, Sullivan and Balletta, JJ., concur.
