People v. Marion
Opinion of the Court
—Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Firetog, J.), rendered November 4, 1998, convicting him of
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
Contrary to the defendant’s contention, the testimony of the police officers at the suppression hearing was not incredible as a matter of law. The Supreme Court’s factual findings and credibility determinations, which are entitled to great deference on appeal, are supported by the record and will not be disturbed (see, People v Prochilo, 41 NY2d 759; People v Heitman, 282 AD2d 619; People v McCovey, 281 AD2d 644; People v Chapman, 277 AD2d 392). Accordingly, that branch of the defendant’s omnibus motion which was to suppress physical evidence was properly denied. Santucci, J. P., Goldstein, McGinity and Luciano, JJ., concur.
