People v. Madsen

Defendant has failed to satisfy his burden of demonstrating that the lineup procedures were unduly suggestive (People v Chipp, 75 NY2d 327, 335, cert denied 498 US 833; People v Berrios, 28 NY2d 361), since his assertions that the complainant must have seen him at the precinct before the lineup was conducted and that the subsequent identification was tainted by comments made to the complainant by the police officers are based on mere speculation.
Defendant has failed to establish any factual basis for his claim that his attorney simultaneously represented the codefendant, and has further failed to establish that any conflict that would have arisen because of the purported joint representation “operated” on the case (People v Allen, 88 NY2d 831; People v Recupero, 73 NY2d 877). Concur — Nardelli, J. P., Wallach, Tom and Andrias, JJ.
