Opinion
2000-05734.
Decided January 20, 2004.
Appeal by the defendant from an amended judgment of the County Court, Westchester County (Smith, J.), rendered April 26, 2000, convicting him of robbery in the third degree, burglary in the second degree (two counts), grand larceny in the fourth degree, attempted grand larceny in the fourth degree, criminal possession of stolen property in the fifth degree, endangering the welfare of a child (two counts), and criminal possession of a hypodermic instrument, after a nonjury trial, and imposing sentence. The appeal brings up for review the denial, after a hearing, of that branch of the defendant's omnibus motion which was to suppress identification testimony.
Kenneth Lyle Bunting, White Plains, N.Y., for appellant.
Jeanine Pirro, District Attorney, White Plains, N.Y. (Thomas A. Kenniff and Richard Longworth Hecht of counsel), for respondent.
Before: STEPHEN G. CRANE and WILLIAM F. MASTRO, JJ.
DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the amended judgment is affirmed.
The showup identification procedure, where the defendant was identified by the complainant, was conducted in close temporal and spatial proximity to the crime and was not impermissibly suggestive ( see People v. Duuvon, 77 N.Y.2d 541; People v. Love, 57 N.Y.2d 1023; People v. Lopez, 292 A.D.2d 395, 396-397; People v. Dottin, 255 A.D.2d 521; People v. Rodney, 237 A.D.2d 541; People v. Mitchell, 185 A.D.2d 249, 250). Accordingly, the County Court properly permitted testimony regarding the complainant's showup identification.
ALTMAN, J.P., GOLDSTEIN, CRANE and MASTRO, JJ., concur.
