Opinion
September 13, 1990
Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (John A.K. Bradley, J.).
Complainant was robbed by several persons in front of the Prince George Hotel. A week later, the complainant returned with the police and identified the defendant and three others. The defendants were brought back to the precinct where the complainant again identified them. The complainant's in-court identification of defendant did not require an independent source because of the station house showup. "It was not an improper police-arranged showup at the precinct serving as an initial identification, the unreliability of which is well established", but a confirmatory identification. (People v. Nixon, 162 A.D.2d 225. )
Defendant's remaining contentions are either unpreserved for appellate review, meritless or constitute harmless error.
