Opinion
November 3, 1997
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Finnegan, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant and his codefendant kidnapped two victims and held them in a basement apartment. The defendant was ultimately arrested at that apartment. As several law enforcement officials were escorting the defendant up from the basement, the victims saw him. They immediately pointed at him, proclaiming that the defendant was one of the men who had kidnapped them. Under such circumstances, the court did not err in denying suppression of the victims' identification testimony ( see, People v. Duuvon, 77 N.Y.2d 541; People v. Riley, 70 N.Y.2d 523; People v. Gonzalez, 229 A.D.2d 594; People v. Carney, 212 A.D.2d 721; People v. Dawson, 185 A.D.2d 854; People v Batten, 141 A.D.2d 746).
The sentence imposed was not excessive ( see, People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80).
The defendant's remaining contentions are either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit.
Ritter, J. P., Copertino, Florio and Luciano, JJ., concur.
