Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department
Mar 16, 1990
159 A.D.2d 953 (N.Y. App. Div. 1990)

Opinion

March 16, 1990

Appeal from the Monroe County Court, Barr, J.

Present — Dillon, P.J., Boomer, Green, Balio and Davis, JJ.


Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: The evidence, when viewed in the light most favorable to the People (see, People v Ford, 66 N.Y.2d 428, 437), established defendant's guilt of third degree burglary and petit larceny (see, People v Magsamen, 128 A.D.2d 646, 647, lv denied 70 N.Y.2d 650; People v Anderson, 103 A.D.2d 1011, 1012). On this record we also conclude that the verdict was not against the weight of the evidence (see, People v Bleakley, 69 N.Y.2d 490, 495; People v Pacheco, 135 A.D.2d 744, lv denied 71 N.Y.2d 900). The trial court properly denied defendant's motion for a mistrial. The witness's identification of defendant was inadvertent (see, People v Hooker, 114 A.D.2d 514, lv denied 67 N.Y.2d 885) and, in any event, no Wade hearing was required because the witness was acquainted with the defendant (see, People v Gissendanner, 48 N.Y.2d 543, 552).
