Court | New York Supreme Court — Appellate Division |

Defendant waived his right to a hearing on his motion to suppress the identification testimony of the undercover officer when defendant proceeded to trial without calling to the court's attention the fact that the previously granted hearing had not been held (see, People v Rodriguez, 50 NY2d 553; People v Di Lenola, 245 AD2d 1132, lv denied 91 NY2d 1006; People v Brimage, 214 AD2d 454, lv denied 86 NY2d 732). While defendant claims he was deprived of effective assistance of counsel because his attorney failed to pursue the suppression, it is impossible on the existing record to determine the reason for the abandonment and thus a CPL 440.10 motion would be required. To the extent the existing record permits review, we conclude that defendant received meaningful representation (see, People v Benevento, 91 NY2d 708, 713-714). There is no reason to believe that the suppression motion had any likelihood of success.
The verdict was based on legally sufficient evidence and was not against the weight of the evidence. There is no basis upon which to disturb the jury's determinations concerning credibility and identification.

... ... Defendant did not obtain a ruling on that motion and failed to object when the evidence was introduced at trial, and thus we conclude that she abandoned the motion (see, People v DiLenola, 245 A.D.2d 1132, 1333; see also, People v Brown, 284 A.D.2d 191; People v Champion, 273 A.D.2d 899, 900, lv denied 96 N.Y.2d 733). We further reject the contention that, in sentencing defendant, the court considered crimes of which she was acquitted. The court's comment at sentencing to which defendant refers was not a basis for the sentence ... ...
