156 A.D.2d 953 (N.Y. App. Div. 1989)

Opinion

December 20, 1989

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Erie County, Kubiniec, J.

Present — Callahan, J.P., Denman, Green, Pine and Lawton, JJ.


Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: The court's denial of defendant's suppression motion is supported by the record and must be affirmed. The police stopped defendant's car for a suspected traffic violation and noticed a box of bullets in plain view. Under these circumstances the police had the right to order defendant out of the car and frisk him for weapons (see, Pennsylvania v Mimms, 434 U.S. 106).
