The PEOPLE of the State of New York, Appellant, v. Andre BOWEN, Defendant-Respondent.
Order (Shari Ruth Michels, J.), dated February 18, 2022, affirmed.
The court properly granted defendant's suppression motion. There is no basis for disturbing the court's credibility determinations (see People v Prochilo, 41 NY2d 759, 761 [1977]). The court chose to discredit police testimony because the officer's observations were “plainly belied by what is depicted on the ․ [officer's] body-worn camera video as well as ․ the I.D.T.U video.” That finding was supported by the record and was not manifestly erroneous (see People v Martin, 112 AD3d 453, 454 [2013]; People v Johnson, 21 AD3d 832 [2005]).
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE COURT.
Per Curiam.
