191 A.D.2d 1031 (N.Y. App. Div. 1993)

Opinion

March 12, 1993

Appeal from the Monroe County Court, Connell, J.

Present — Green, J.P., Pine, Lawton, Fallon and Davis, JJ.


Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: The trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying defendant's motion for a mistrial based upon the admission of testimony suggesting defendant's involvement with drugs (see, People v. Young, 48 N.Y.2d 995, 996, rearg dismissed 60 N.Y.2d 644; People v. Lewis, 161 A.D.2d 286, lv denied 76 N.Y.2d 791; People v. Brotherton, 122 A.D.2d 850, 851, lv denied 69 N.Y.2d 709).

Defendant's contention that a police witness was improperly permitted to bolster identification testimony has not been preserved (see, CPL 470.05; People v. West, 56 N.Y.2d 662) and we decline to review the issue in the interest of justice (see, CPL 470.15 [a]).

We have reviewed the issues raised in defendant's pro se supplemental brief and we find no basis to disturb the determinations of the suppression court, which are entitled to great weight (see, People v. Prochilo, 41 N.Y.2d 759, 761; People v. Chapman, 161 A.D.2d 1156, lv denied 76 N.Y.2d 854).
