THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. VERNON BLACK, Also Known as ENGLAND, Appellant.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

It is axiomatic that, as to the credibility of witnesses, the determination of the hearing court, which had the advantage of hearing and seeing the witnesses firsthand, is to be given great weight on appeal (see, People v Prochilo, 41 N.Y.2d 759) and should be upheld unless it is clearly unsupported by the record (see, People v Belli, 208 A.D.2d 640; People v Pegues, 208 A.D.2d 773; People v Catala, 198 A.D.2d 293, 294). We find that there is nothing in the record which supports the defendant's contention that the testimony of the police officers was incredible or patently tailored to nullify constitutional objections (see, People v Stanley, 191 A.D.2d 732; cf., People v Lewis, 195 A.D.2d 523, 524; People v Lebron, 184 A.D.2d 784, 787; Matter of Carl W., 174 A.D.2d 678, 679-680; People v Miret-Gonzalez, 159 A.D.2d 647, 649; People v Garafolo, 44 A.D.2d 86, 88). Balletta, J.P., Rosenblatt, Ritter and Altman, JJ., concur.
