Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Raul Espino, Appellant.
[954 NYS2d 881]

Opinion:
The court properly denied defendant's suppression motion. The People established the voluntariness of defendant's state- merits beyond a reasonable doubt. The record supports the court's determination to credit the police testimony and to discredit the testimony of defendant (see People v Prochilo, 41 NY2d 759, 761 [1977]).
We perceive no basis for a reduction of sentence. Concur— Tom, J.P., Sweeny, Moskowitz, Renwick and Clark, JJ.
