People v. Wallace
Opinion of the Court
Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Carol Berkman, J.), rendered July 14, 1994, convicting defendant, after a jury trial, of robbery in the first degree, burglary in the second degree, and criminal possession of stolen property in the fifth degree, and sentencing him, as a second felony offender, to two concurrent terms of 7V2 to 15 years and a conditional discharge, respectively, unanimously affirmed.
The verdict was supported by legally sufficient evidence and
The court properly refused to sign defendant’s subpoena duces tecum. Rather than seeking to obtain documents that were themselves evidence, the subpoena was intended "for the purpose of discovery or to ascertain the existence of evidence” (Matter of Terry D., 81 NY2d 1042, 1044).
The court properly exercised its discretion in declining to hold a "Wade-type hearing” concerning identification procedures conducted by store security personnel (see, People v Vaughn, 169 AD2d 670, lv denied 77 NY2d 1001; People v Blackman, 110 AD2d 596). Concur—Sullivan, J. P., Milonas, Ellerin, Tom and Mazzarelli, JJ.
