Opinion
December 2, 1985
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Goldman, J.).
Judgment affirmed.
The evidence, when viewed in the light most favorable to the People, bearing in mind that credibility is a matter to be determined by the trier of facts (People v Malizia, 62 N.Y.2d 755, 757, cert. denied ___ US ___, 105 S Ct 327), established that three eyewitnesses clearly identified defendant to police as the person who robbed them. Defendant was proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt (see, People v Contes, 60 N.Y.2d 620, 621).
Defendant contends that the trial court erred in permitting testimony that he knowingly misstated his age and was consequently released from custody on September 13, 1982. However, this testimony was admissible to complete the narrative of events leading to the September 15, 1982 identification of defendant (see, People v Gines, 36 N.Y.2d 932; People v Carswell, 105 A.D.2d 844).
We have examined defendant's remaining contention and find it to be without merit. Mangano, J.P., Brown, Rubin and Lawrence, JJ., concur.
