Opinion
March 15, 1999
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (D'Emic, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
Contrary to the defendant's contention, the hearing court properly found that the defendant's statement was not suppressible as the fruit of an illegal arrest ( see, Payton v. New York, 445 U.S. 573). The evidence adduced at the suppression hearing supports the hearing court's conclusion that the warrantless entry into the apartment of the defendant's grandfather was effected with the consent of the grandfather ( see, People v. Levine, 174 A.D.2d 757; see also, People v. Major, 195 A.D.2d 1051; People v. Rosato, 193 A.D.2d 1052; People v. Davis, 120 A.D.2d 606, 607).
The defendant's remaining contentions are without merit.
O'Brien, J. P., Ritter, Thompson and Goldstein, JJ., concur.
