SidikiWeay, Appellant.

[*1]Lynn W. L. Fahey, New York (Sarah J. Berger of counsel), for appellant.

Richard A. Brown, District Attorney, Kew Gardens (John M. Castellano, Ellen C. Abbot andSuzanne H. Sullivan of counsel), for respondent.

Appeal by the defendant from an order of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Eng, J.), datedOctober 28, 2005, which denied his postconviction motion pursuant to CPL 440.30 (1-a) forDNA testing.

Ordered that the order is affirmed.

The Supreme Court properly denied the defendant's motion pursuant to CPL 440.30 (1-a) forDNA testing since the defendant failed to show that there was a reasonable probability that theverdict would have been more favorable to him had the DNA test results been admitted intoevidence at trial (see CPL 440.30 [1-a]; People v Brown, 36 AD3d 961 [2007]; People v Figueroa, 36 AD3d 458[2007]; People v Shenouda, 307 AD2d 938 [2003]; People v Pugh, 288 AD2d634 [2001]; People v De Oliveira, 223 AD2d 766 [1996]).
