15-051. THE PEOPLE, res, v. WILLIAM CAPERS, def-app — Judgment of conviction (Robert G. Seewald, J.H.O.), rendered September 23, 2013, affirmed.

There is no basis for disturbing the court's credibility determinations, including its assessment of police testimony about defendant's condition upon his arrest (see People v. Reyes, 136 AD3d 443 [2016]). Furthermore, defendant admitted to the officer that he had consumed "a couple of beers" and the Intoxilyzer 5000 test revealed that defendant's blood alcohol level was.11 percent (see Vehicle and Traffic Law §1195[2][c]).
