vAnthony Villafane, appellant.

Robert C. Mitchell, Riverhead, N.Y. (Alfred J. Cicale of counsel), for appellant.

DECISION & ORDER
Appeal by the defendant from an order of the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (Condon, J.), dated June 11, 2013, 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 Supreme 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 DNA tests been performed and the results admitted at trial (see CPL 440.30[1-a]; People v Griffin, 121 AD3d 1127, 1127; People v Johnson, 112 AD3d 969, 969-970; People v Perry, 89 AD3d 1114, 1115; People v Bolling, 65 AD3d 1054, 1054).
ENG, P.J., LEVENTHAL, HALL and ROMAN, JJ., concur.
