People v. Howell

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Jun 27, 1988
141 A.D.2d 846 (N.Y. App. Div. 1988)

Opinion

June 27, 1988

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Groh, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The prompt showup of the defendant and two other suspects, conducted within a short time following the commission of the crime and in close proximity to the scene, was proper and not violative of due process (see, People v Love, 57 N.Y.2d 1023; People v Burns, 133 A.D.2d 642, lv denied 70 N.Y.2d 873).

The defendant's challenge to his sentence is meritless. He received the bargained-for sentence (see, People v Kazepis, 101 A.D.2d 816) and, moreover, the sentence imposed was the minimum one permissible on this conviction for a class B violent felony (Penal Law § 70.02 [b]). Brown, J.P., Kunzeman, Rubin and Kooper, JJ., concur.
