STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN, UNPUBLISHED May 2, 2000 Plaintiff-Appellee, v No. 212136 Wayne Circuit Court Criminal Division LC No. 97-008900 ANTDWELE NASAOR, Defendant-Appellant. Before: Wilder, P.J., and Sawyer and Markey, JJ. MEMORANDUM. Defendant appeals as of right his bench trial conviction for attempted possession with intent to deliver less than fifty grams of cocaine, MCL 333.7401(2)(a)(iv); MSA 14.15(7401)(2)(a)(iv). We affirm. Defendant’s conviction was primarily based on the testimony of a Detroit police officer, who observed defendant flagging motorists, and engaging in conduct consistent with a narcotics transaction. After defendant was arrested, officers searched the area defendant frequented, and retrieved a bag containing narcotics. On appeal, defendant argues that the prosecutor failed to prove he was guilty beyond a reasonable doubt due to inconsistencies in the officers’ testimony regarding his location and the movement of defendant. The trial court found that the officer was a credible witness. There is no showing that the trial court clearly erred in making this determination. In re Forfeiture of $25,505, 220 Mich App 572, 582; 560 NW2d 341 (1996). Any inconsistencies were minor and did not contradict the officer’s testimony that he was able to observe the entire sequence of events surrounding the narcotics transaction. Affirmed. /s/ Kurtis T. Wilder /s/ David H. Sawyer /s/ Jane E. Markey -1­ -2­
