Opinion
June 12, 2001.
Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Budd Goodman, J. at omnibus motion and plea; Felice Shea, J. at suppression hearing; Herbert Altman, J. at sentence), rendered April 17, 1998, convicting defendant of criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree, and sentencing him, as a second violent felony offender, to a term of 7 years, unanimously affirmed.
Hope Korenstein, for respondent.
Martin M. Lucente, for defendant-appellant.
Before: Sullivan, P.J., Nardelli, Mazzarelli, Rubin, Saxe, JJ.
The Mapp and Dunaway branches of defendant's suppression motion were properly denied without a hearing since defendant's papers did not raise an issue of fact as to probable cause for his arrest (see, People v. Mendoza, 82 N.Y.2d 415). Defendant's assertions of innocent conduct at the time of his arrest failed to controvert the specific information provided by the People concerning the menacing incident leading to his arrest or provide any other basis for suppression (see, People v. Jones, N Y2d [Mar 29, 2001], 2001 N.Y. LEXIS 635; People v. Suggs, 268 A.D.2d 305, lv denied 94 N.Y.2d 925).
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
