Opinion
December 13, 1993
Appeal from the County Court, Nassau County (Wexner, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant argues, on several grounds, that the court should have suppressed both his inculpatory statements as well as his lineup identifications. Reviewing the hearing record and according great weight to the determination of the hearing court (see, People v Prochilo, 41 N.Y.2d 759, 761; People v Norris, 122 A.D.2d 82, 83), we find that the defendant was advised of his Miranda rights (Miranda v Arizona, 384 U.S. 436) and that he knowingly and voluntarily waived them. We decline to hold that the defendant's statements should be deemed involuntary due to a purported delay by the police in arraigning him (see, People v Dairsaw, 46 N.Y.2d 739, cert denied 440 U.S. 985) or that whatever delay did occur herein was "designed to afford an opportunity for prearraignment interrogation" or "otherwise calculated to deprive defendant of his right to counsel" (People v Wilson, 56 N.Y.2d 692, 694).
The defendant's remaining contentions are without merit. Sullivan, J.P., O'Brien, Ritter and Joy, JJ., concur.
