Beverly Van Ness, New York, NY, for appellant.
Madeline Singas, District Attorney, Mineola, NY (Tammy J. Smiley, Judith R. Sternberg, and Andrea M. DiGregorio of counsel; Matthew C. Frankel on the brief), for respondent.
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Corrigan, J.), rendered December 18, 2014, convicting him of robbery in the first degree (two counts), robbery in the second degree, burglary in the first degree (two counts), and conspiracy in the fourth degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence. The appeal brings up for review the denial, after a hearing, of the defendant's motion to suppress his statements to law enforcement officials.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's contention that four police officers who were not witnesses to the crime in question were improperly permitted to testify that, in their opinion, an individual depicted in a surveillance video was the defendant is unpreserved for appellate review (see CPL 470.05[2] ; People v. Watson, 121 A.D.3d 921, 922, 993 N.Y.S.2d 384 ). In any event, the contention is without merit (see People v. Watson, 121 A.D.3d at 922, 993 N.Y.S.2d 384 ; People v. Alleyne, 114 A.D.3d 804, 979 N.Y.S.2d 845 ).The defendant's remaining contentions are without merit.
