People v. Fiorvante

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Feb 25, 1985
108 A.D.2d 925 (N.Y. App. Div. 1985)

Opinion

February 25, 1985

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Giaccio, J.).


Judgment affirmed.

Defendant was not improperly denied a Wade hearing in this case because the complainant's identification was made spontaneously and was not the product of an identification procedure arranged by the police ( see, e.g., People v Logan, 25 N.Y.2d 184, 193, cert denied 396 U.S. 1020; People v Parente, 104 A.D.2d 667; People v Dukes, 97 A.D.2d 445). Additionally, both the circumstantial evidence charge and the identification charge given by the trial court were sufficient ( see, People v Sanchez, 61 N.Y.2d 1022, 1024; People v Morris, 36 N.Y.2d 877; People v Whalen, 59 N.Y.2d 273; People v Smith, 100 A.D.2d 857, 858). Defendant's claim that the statute under which he was sentenced (Penal Law § 70.06) is unconstitutional is unpreserved and, in any case, is without merit ( see, People v Oliver, 63 N.Y.2d 973; People v Velasquez, 107 A.D.2d 726; People v Thompson, 105 A.D.2d 762; People v Cates, 104 A.D.2d 895). Defendant's claims that his Sandoval motion ( People v Sandoval, 34 N.Y.2d 371) should have been granted in its entirety and that the sentence imposed was excessive have been reviewed and likewise are without merit. Mangano, J.P., Bracken, Weinstein and Niehoff, JJ., concur.
