People v. Jones

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Oct 7, 2002
298 A.D.2d 404 (N.Y. App. Div. 2002)

Opinion

2000-11422

Argued September 9, 2002.

October 7, 2002.

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County (Fisher, J.), rendered November 15, 2000, convicting him of assault in the first degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence. The appeal brings up for review the denial, after a hearing (Finnegan, J.), of that branch of the defendant's omnibus motion which was to suppress physical evidence.

Lynn W. L. Fahey, New York, N.Y. (William Kastin of counsel), for appellant.

Richard A. Brown, District Attorney, Kew Gardens, N.Y. (John M. Castellano and Jeanette Lifschitz of counsel; Brian Michels on the brief), for respondent.

Before: DAVID S. RITTER, J.P., GABRIEL M. KRAUSMAN, LEO F. McGINITY, DANIEL F. LUCIANO, JJ.


DECISION ORDER

ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.

Contrary to the defendant's contention, the hearing record does not support a finding that the seizure of bloody clothing from his person was the fruit of an arrest made without probable cause on an unrelated charge (see People v. Milaski, 62 N.Y.2d 147). Thus, suppression of the clothing on such ground was properly denied.

RITTER, J.P., KRAUSMAN, McGINITY and LUCIANO, JJ., concur.
