Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Victor Martorell, Appellant.
[853 NYS2d 345]

Opinion:
The court properly denied defendant's suppression motion. There is no basis for disturbing the hearing court's credibility determinations, which are supported by the record (People v Prochilo, 41 NY2d 759, 761 [1977]). The police witness's account of the incident was plausible, and it does not cast doubt on his credibility. Concur—Tom, J.P., Friedman, Nardelli, Catterson and Moskowitz, JJ.
