[*1]The People of the State of New York, respondent,

v

Todd Slavik, appellant.

Laurette D. Mulry, Riverhead, NY (Lisa A. Marcoccia of counsel), for appellant.

Timothy D. Sini, District Attorney, Riverhead, NY (Glenn Green of counsel), for respondent.

DECISION & ORDER

Appeal by the defendant pursuant to CPL 450.10(5) from an order of the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (Mark D. Cohen, J.), dated August 18, 2016, which denied, without a hearing, his motion pursuant to CPL 440.30(1-a) for forensic DNA testing of certain evidence.

ORDERED that the order is affirmed.

The defendant's motion pursuant to CPL 440.30(1-a) for DNA testing of evidence was properly denied, as the defendant failed to allege any facts demonstrating that there was a reasonable probability that the verdict would have been more favorable to him had DNA testing been performed and the results been admitted at trial (see People v Pitts, 4 NY3d 303, 311; People v Gentile, 156 AD3d 814; People v Letizia, 141 AD3d 1129; People v Kaminski, 61 AD3d 1113, 1115; People v Williams, 47 AD3d 648; People v Fuentes, 44 AD3d 871; People v Mattocks, 15 AD3d 676, 677).

MASTRO, J.P., BALKIN, HINDS-RADIX and IANNACCI, JJ., concur.
