People v. Greene

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Dec 21, 1987
135 A.D.2d 729 (N.Y. App. Div. 1987)

Opinion

December 21, 1987

Appeal from the County Court, Nassau County (Harrington, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The hearing court concluded that the detective who questioned the defendant following his arrest inquired of him whether he was represented by an attorney on other charges involving marihuana possession and driving without a license that were pending against him when he was arrested for the instant crime. The defendant told him he was not represented by an attorney. We find that these conclusions have factual support in the record and agree with the hearing court that the defendant's right to counsel was not violated (see, People v Bertolo, 65 N.Y.2d 111, 118-119).

We have considered the defendant's other contentions and find them to be without merit. Thompson, J.P., Brown, Eiber and Sullivan, JJ., concur.
