Judith F. Bever and William E. Hellerstein for appellant.

Mario Merola, District Attorney (Billie Manning of counsel), for respondent.

MEMORANDUM. Order affirmed on the majority memorandum at the Appellate Division with respect to the issues there covered. Concerning the admissibility of the testimony of the robbery victim and his daughter, it has been settled within reasonable perimeters that the testimony of a live witness is not necessarily excludible because the identity of the witness had been ascertained by a breach of the rules governing search and seizure (see, generally, People v Mendez, 28 N.Y.2d 94 [GIBSON, J.], and the authorities cited, cert den 404 U.S. 911).

Chief Judge BREITEL and Judges JASEN, GABRIELLI, JONES, WACHTLER, FUCHSBERG and COOKE concur in memorandum.

Order affirmed.
