PEOPLE v. ALLEN (PAUL)

Appellate Term of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Oct 7, 2008
2008 N.Y. Slip Op. 51994 (N.Y. App. Term 2008)

Opinion

570495/05.

Decided October 7, 2008.

Defendant appeals from a judgment of the Criminal

Division of Supreme Court, Bronx County (Ralph Fabrizio, J.), rendered June 28, 2005, after a nonjury trial, convicting him of attempted unlicensed general vending and unlawful possession of marihuana, and imposing sentence.

PRESENT: Davis, J.P., Schoenfeld, Heitler, JJ.


Judgment of conviction (Ralph Fabrizio, J.), rendered June 28, 2005, affirmed.

The court properly denied defendant's suppression motion. There is no basis for disturbing the court's credibility determinations, which are supported by the record ( see People v Prochilo, 41 NY2d 759, 761). The officer's observations of the street transaction, together with defendant's on-the-scene statement, provided probable cause for defendant's arrest and subsequent search.

The verdict was based on legally sufficient evidence and was not against the weight of the evidence. Again, no basis is shown for disturbing the court's determinations concerning credibility.

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE COURT.
