People v. Pilgrim

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Jan 9, 1995
211 A.D.2d 649 (N.Y. App. Div. 1995)

Opinion

January 9, 1995

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


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

Contrary to the defendant's contention, the police action constituted nothing more than a permissible request for information based on some objective credible reason (see, People v. Reyes, 83 N.Y.2d 945, cert denied ___ US ___, 115 S Ct 492; People v. Diaz, 80 N.Y.2d 950; People v. De Bour, 40 N.Y.2d 210). Further, the defendant intentionally abandoned the package containing 15 packets of crack cocaine (see, People v. Reyes, supra, at 946; People v. Diaz, supra, at 952). Thus, the hearing court properly denied that branch of the defendant's omnibus motion which was to suppress the crack cocaine.

The defendant's remaining contentions are either unpreserved for appellate review (see, CPL 470.05; People v. Iannone, 45 N.Y.2d 589; People v. Okehoffurum, 201 A.D.2d 508; People v Ivey, 204 A.D.2d 16) or without merit. Sullivan, J.P., Thompson, Copertino and Pizzuto, JJ., concur.
