The hearing court properly exercised its discretion in denying defendant’s application to compel testimony by the arresting officer’s partner, as evidence at the hearing indicated that the complainant’s on-the-scene identification of defendant, not prompted by police action, presented no question of sugges*700tiveness (People v Chipp, 75 NY2d 327, 338-339, cert denied 498 US 833).
