CARTER, CORPORATION COUNSEL, NEW YORK (SUSAN PAULSON OF COUNSEL), FOR PRESENTMENT AGENCY.—Order, Family Court, New York County (Stewart H.

When, at the fact-finding hearing, the victim viewed a surveillance videotape depicting someone following the victim into a store, and identified that person as his assailant in the subsequent incidents, but did not identify appellant as that person, this testimony was compatible with the specific terms of the presentment agency’s agreement not to introduce certain allegedly tainted identification evidence. The victim’s testimony about the videotape was not an actual identification of appellant (see People v. Lara, 130 AD3d 463, 464 [1st Dept 2015], lv denied 27 NY3d 1001 [2016]), but was instead a link in a chain of circumstantial evidence establishing appellant’s identity, and appellant has not established that it should have been excluded.
