People v Murillo (2024 NY Slip Op 50641(U)) [*1] People v Murillo (Yubeiker) 2024 NY Slip Op 50641(U) [83 Misc 3d 127(A)] Decided on May 30, 2024 Appellate Term, First Department Published by New York State Law Reporting Bureau pursuant to Judiciary Law § 431. This opinion is uncorrected and will not be published in the printed Official Reports. Decided on May 30, 2024 SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE TERM, FIRST DEPARTMENT PRESENT: Brigantti, J.P., James, Perez, JJ. 570633/16 The People of the State of New York, Respondent, against Yubeiker Murillo, Defendant-Appellant. Defendant appeals from a judgment of the Criminal Court of the City of New York, New York County (Stephen Antignani, J.), rendered August 17, 2016, after a nonjury trial, convicting him of attempted assault in the third degree and harassment in the second degree, and imposing sentence. Per Curiam. Appeal from judgment of conviction (Stephen Antignani, J.), rendered August 17, 2016, held in abeyance, and the matter remitted to Criminal Court for a Wade/Rodriguez hearing regarding the victim's identification testimony. A hearing is necessary to determine whether the victim's identification of defendant was confirmatory in nature (see People v Rodriguez, 79 NY2d 445 [1992]) and, if not, whether the identification procedure was unduly suggestive (see People v Dixon, 85 NY2d 218 [1995]). Given the procedural circumstances, the parties did not have a full opportunity to litigate this issue. Accordingly, we hold the appeal in abeyance and remit for a hearing. All concur THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE COURT. Clerk of the Court Decision Date: May 30, 2024
