[*1]The People of the State of New York, respondent,
v Frank Bellezza, appellant.
Robert C. Mitchell, Riverhead, N.Y. (Agnes B. Neldner of counsel), for appellant.
Thomas J. Spota, District Attorney, Riverhead, N.Y. (Thomas C. Costello of counsel), for respondent.
DECISION & ORDER
Appeal by the defendant from an order of the County Court, Suffolk County (Weber, J.), dated October 7, 2009, which denied, without a hearing, his motion pursuant to CPL 440.30(1-a) for DNA testing of certain evidence.
ORDERED that the order is affirmed.
The County Court properly denied, without a hearing, the defendant's motion pursuant to CPL 440.30(1-a) for DNA testing of certain evidence, since the defendant failed to show that there was a reasonable probability that the verdict would have been more favorable to him had the DNA tests been performed and the results admitted at trial (see CPL 440.30[1-a][a][1]; People v Johnson, 112 AD3d 969, 969-970; People v Perry, 89 AD3d 1114, 1115).
MASTRO, J.P., LEVENTHAL, LOTT and MILLER, JJ., concur.
