—[*1]
Richard A. Brown, District Attorney, Kew Gardens, N.Y. (John M. Castellano andMerri Turk Lasky of counsel; Michelle Kaszuba on the brief), forrespondent.
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Aloise, J.),rendered March 28, 2006, convicting him of criminal possession of a weapon in the seconddegree, upon his plea of guilty, and imposing sentence. The appeal brings up for review thedenial, after a hearing (Blumenfeld, J.), of that branch of the defendant's omnibus motion whichwas to suppress physical evidence.
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The resolution of issues of credibility made by a hearing court is entitled to great deferenceon appeal, and will not be disturbed unless it is "manifestly erroneous" (People v Sutherland, 40 AD3d890, 891 [2007]) or "clearly unsupported by the record" (People v Cameron, 6 AD3d 546, 546 [2004]; see People v Santiago, 18 AD3d675, 675-676 [2005]). Contrary to the defendant's contention, the record in this case supportsthe hearing court's determination to credit the police officer's testimony. Accordingly, that branchof the defendant's omnibus motion which was to suppress physical evidence was properly denied.Schmidt, J.P., Rivera, Santucci and Balkin, JJ., concur.
