Opinion
October 18, 1993
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Pesce, J.).
Ordered that the judgments are affirmed.
We agree with the hearing court that the lineup identification conducted by the police was not unduly suggestive. The participants in the lineup were reasonably similar in appearance to the defendant. There is no requirement that a defendant in a lineup be accompanied by individuals nearly identical to him or her in physical appearance (see, People v. Chipp, 75 N.Y.2d 327, 336; People v. Stephens, 143 A.D.2d 692, 695). Balletta, J.P., Rosenblatt, Miller and Pizzuto, JJ., concur.
