Opinion
February 4, 1980
Appeal by defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Suffolk County, rendered May 2, 1978, convicting him of robbery in the first degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence. Judgment affirmed. The defendant presents numerous arguments for reversal of his conviction and modification of his sentence, but we find none to have merit. With reference to his contention that error occurred in the consolidation for trial purposes of two indictments, each containing one count, People v. Peterson ( 42 A.D.2d 937, affd 35 N.Y.2d 659) and People v. Jenkins ( 47 A.D.2d 832, affd 39 N.Y.2d 969) are dispositive. Defendant's argument that testimony was improperly admitted at trial to bolster the victim's in-court identification of defendant, is negated by the circumstances surrounding that testimony and the legitimate purpose it served (see People v. Singletary, 54 A.D.2d 767). The defendant's remaining arguments require no comment. Mollen, P.J., Titone, Mangano and O'Connor, JJ., concur.
