Heading: Pre-trial Identification

Text: 63 Levasseur also contends that the district court erred by holding that Doe's December 17, 1988, identification of him in his truck one-half mile from his home was not unduly suggestive and did not violate the Due Process Clause. We disagree and affirm for the reasons set forth in the well-reasoned opinion of the district court below. Levasseur v. Pepe, No. 93-10832-DPW, slip op. at 14-22 (D.Mass. Feb. 28, 1995). Careful review of the record convinces us that the district court was correct in finding that Doe's identification of Levasseur, under the totality of the circumstances, possessed sufficient indicia of reliability, as we discussed in section B.3.a. supra, and that counsel's failure to object to the identification was not ineffective assistance of counsel.
