People v. Daniels

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department

202 A.D.2d 987 (N.Y. App. Div. 1994)

Opinion

March 11, 1994

Appeal from the Monroe County Court, Marks, J.

Present — Green, J.P., Balio, Lawton, Doerr and Boehm, JJ.


Judgment unanimously modified on the law and as modified affirmed and matter remitted to Monroe County Court for further proceedings in accordance with the following Memorandum: We reject defendant's contention that photographic arrays were unduly suggestive because defendant was the only person whose photograph appeared in both arrays. "Multiple photo identification procedures are not inherently suggestive" (People v. Chapman, 161 A.D.2d 1156, lv denied 76 N.Y.2d 854; see also, People v. Cordilione, 159 A.D.2d 864, lv denied 76 N.Y.2d 786; People v. Sheirod, 124 A.D.2d 14, 18-19, lv denied 70 N.Y.2d 656). The identification procedures occurred three days apart, defendant's photograph appeared in a different location on each array, and the photograph of defendant used in the second array was different from the photograph used in the first array. Defendant does not contend that either array was, by itself, unduly suggestive. Under the circumstances, we find no basis to disturb the suppression court's determination that use of defendant's photographs in the array procedures was not unduly suggestive.

Defendant pleaded guilty to all six counts of the indictment. He was sentenced, however, on only three counts charging burglary in the second degree. Because County Court failed to pronounce sentence on each crime for which defendant was found guilty, the matter must be remitted for resentencing on those counts for which no sentence was imposed (see, CPL 380.20; People v Charles, 98 A.D.2d 780; People v. Green, 61 A.D.2d 1138).
