Opinion
June 26, 1989
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Lakritz, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant contends that testimony relating to a witness's lineup identification should have been excluded from trial. The witness, prior to the lineup, was informed by a detective that the person whose photograph he had picked out of a photographic array was going to be present in the lineup. This fact, in and of itself, did not render the lineup impermissibly suggestive where, as here, the identification procedure followed in both the lineup and the photographic array was otherwise proper (People v Wiredo, 138 A.D.2d 652, lv denied 72 N.Y.2d 868). We have examined the defendant's remaining contentions and find them to be without merit. Mollen, P.J., Lawrence, Kunzeman and Eiber, JJ., concur.
