People v. Taylor

134 A.D.2d 543, 521 N.Y.S.2d 413, 1987 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 50751

Opinion

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Gallagher, J.), rendered April 11, 1986, convicting him of grand larceny in the third degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

While the police officer’s trial testimony may have unfairly bolstered the complainant’s identification of the defendant (see, People v Trowbridge, 305 NY 471), we conclude that this error was harmless. A review of the record reveals that the evidence of identity was so strong that there was no significant issue on this point (see, People v Johnson, 57 NY2d 969; People v Mobley, 56 NY2d 584; People v Williams, 109 AD2d 906).

We find no merit to the other contention raised by the defendant. Brown, J. P., Eiber, Kunzeman and Spatt, JJ., concur.
