Opinion
May 24, 1999
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Friedman, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
Contrary to the defendant's assertions on appeal, the hearing court properly determined that the police had reasonable suspicion to stop and detain him pending a prompt showup identification (see, CPL 140.50; People v. Martinez, 80 N.Y.2d 444; People v. Duuvon, 77 N.Y.2d 541). Thus, suppression of his statements to law enforcement officials was properly denied.
The defendant's remaining contentions are either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit.
O'Brien, J. P., Goldstein, Luciano and Schmidt, JJ., concur.
