Opinion

June 17, 1985

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Mirabile, J.).

Judgment affirmed.

There was more than ample evidence from an independent source "`connect[ing] the defendant with the crime in such a way that the jury may be reasonably satisfied that the accomplice is telling the truth'" ( People v. Moses, 63 N.Y.2d 299, 306, quoting from People v. Daniels, 37 N.Y.2d 624, 630; CPL 60.22; 1 N.Y. CJI 7.52). We have examined defendant's remaining contentions and find them to be without merit. Thompson, J.P., Bracken, Weinstein and Niehoff, JJ., concur.
