270 A.D.2d 22 (N.Y. App. Div. 2000)

Opinion

March 2, 2000

Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Edward McLaughlin, J., at hearing; Renee White, J., at plea and sentence), rendered March 17, 1998, as amended by judgment of resentence, same court (Renee White, J.), rendered August 18, 1998, convicting defendant of attempted burglary in the second degree and attempted sexual abuse in the first degree, and sentencing him to concurrent terms of 1 1/2 to 3 years and 1 to 3 years, respectively, unanimously affirmed.

Suzanne M. Herbert, for Respondent.

Michelle Parisien, for Defendant-Appellant.

NARDELLI, J.P., TOM, LERNER, RUBIN, FRIEDMAN, JJ.


The hearing court properly denied defendant's motion to suppress identification evidence. We find nothing suggestive about either the photographic or lineup identifications (see, People v. Chipp, 75 N.Y.2d 325, 336, cert denied 498 U.S. 833). Since the complainant never described the attire or hairstyle of the perpetrator, any differences in those respects between defendant's appearance and that of the other participants did not render the procedures suggestive (People v. Gonzalez, 173 A.D.2d 48, 56). We have considered and rejected defendant's remaining arguments.

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
