Opinion
January 24, 1994
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Beerman, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
Contrary to the defendant's contention, the hearing court properly denied suppression of physical evidence based upon the testimony of the arresting officer. The defendant contends that the arresting officer's testimony was not credible. We note, however, that a hearing court's determinations as to credibility are afforded great weight on appeal and should not be disturbed unless clearly unsupported by the evidence (see, People v Prochilo, 41 N.Y.2d 759; People v. Almodovar, 168 A.D.2d 454). The record supports the hearing court's credibility determination, and the defendant's arguments to the contrary are without merit (cf., People v. Lewis, 195 A.D.2d 523).
We have considered the defendant's remaining contentions and find that they do not require reversal. Rosenblatt, J.P., Ritter, Copertino and Joy, JJ., concur.
