Lynn W.L. Fahey, New York, N.Y. (Jonathan M. Kratter of counsel), for appellant. Richard A. Brown, District Attorney, Kew Gardens, N.Y. (John M. Castellano, Ellen C. Abbot, and Ushir Pandit of counsel), for respondent.
Lynn W.L. Fahey, New York, N.Y. (Jonathan M. Kratter of counsel), for appellant. Richard A. Brown, District Attorney, Kew Gardens, N.Y. (John M. Castellano, Ellen C. Abbot, and Ushir Pandit of counsel), for respondent.
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Kohm, J.), rendered May 26, 2011, convicting him of robbery in the second degree and criminal possession of stolen property in the fourth degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant's contentions that the testimony of a police detective impermissibly bolstered ( see People v. Trowbridge, 305 N.Y. 471, 113 N.E.2d 841) the pretrial identification testimony are unpreserved for appellate review ( see CPL 470.05[2]; People v. Tavarez, 55 A.D.3d 932, 865 N.Y.S.2d 572) and, in any event, without merit ( see People v. Totesau, 112 A.D.3d 977, 978, 977 N.Y.S.2d 364;People v. Lassiter, 74 A.D.3d 1094, 902 N.Y.S.2d 396;People v. Moore, 159 A.D.2d 521, 552 N.Y.S.2d 389).
The defendant failed to preserve for appellate review his contention that the Supreme Court improperly permitted a police detective to testify that, in his opinion, an individual depicted in a surveillance video tape was the defendant ( see CPL 470.05[2]; People v. Dubois, 116 A.D.3d 878, 983 N.Y.S.2d 734;People v. Alleyne, 114 A.D.3d 804, 804, 979 N.Y.S.2d 845). In any event, the contention is without merit ( see People v. Alleyne, 114 A.D.3d at 804, 979 N.Y.S.2d 845;People v. Ruiz, 7 A.D.3d 737, 777 N.Y.S.2d 193;People v. Magin, 1 A.D.3d 1024, 1025, 767 N.Y.S.2d 366).
Moreover, the defendant's contention that trial counsel's failure to preserve certain claims for appellate review constituted ineffective assistance of counsel is without merit ( see People v. Stultz, 2 N.Y.3d 277, 287, 778 N.Y.S.2d 431, 810 N.E.2d 883;People v. Bedford, 95 A.D.3d 1226, 1227, 944 N.Y.S.2d 638;People v. Archer, 82 A.D.3d 781, 917 N.Y.S.2d 901;People v. Greenlee, 70 A.D.3d 966, 897 N.Y.S.2d 132;People v. Taberas, 60 A.D.3d 791, 875 N.Y.S.2d 172;People v. Hyatt, 2 A.D.3d 749, 768 N.Y.S.2d 651).
The defendant's remaining contention is unpreserved for appellate review and, in any event, without merit. SKELOS, J.P., HALL, DUFFY and BARROS, JJ., concur.
