Opinion
April 22, 1985
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Lonschein, J.).
Judgment affirmed.
The record adequately supports the determination made after a Wade/Mapp hearing denying that branch of defendant's pretrial motion which sought suppression of complainant's in-court identification of defendant, based upon a sufficient independent basis to identify defendant ( see, People v. Pleasant, 54 N.Y.2d 972; United States v. Crews, 445 U.S. 463). In addition, the hearing court properly found that defendant lacked standing to challenge a search of the stolen automobile from which he was taken upon his illegal arrest ( People v. McCloud, 81 A.D.2d 645, 646; see also, People v. Ponder, 54 N.Y.2d 160; People v. Butler, 90 A.D.2d 797; United States v. Salvucci, 448 U.S. 83). Consequently, defendant has failed to show an appropriate ground for reversal of the judgment. Mangano, J.P., Gibbons, Niehoff and Lawrence, JJ., concur.
