THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. JOSE FELIX, Appellant.

The verdict was not against the weight of the evidence ( see, People v. Bleakley, 69 N.Y.2d 490). Issues of credibility were properly presented to the jury and we find no reason to disturb its determination.

Defendant failed to pursue his initial request that the confidential informant be produced or identified and sought only a missing witness instruction, which the court provided. Therefore, we conclude that defendant abandoned his claim that the informant should have been produced or that her identity should have been disclosed on the ground that she could have provided purportedly crucial testimony supporting the agency defense ( see, People v. Medina, 53 N.Y.2d 951).

Defendant's omnibus motion, when read as a whole, made no allegation that the defendant's arrest was unlawful and thus defendant was not entitled to a Dunaway hearing.

Concur — Lerner, P. J., Sullivan, Milonas, Rosenberger and Ellerin, JJ.
