Opinion
2002-1646 S CR.
Decided November 26, 2003.
Appeal by the People from an order of the District Court, Suffolk County (H. Bergson, J.), entered October 9, 2002, which granted defendants motion for a trial order of dismissal based on the failure of the People to present a prima facie case.
Order unanimously reversed on the law, defendant's motion for a trial order of dismissal denied, accusatory instrument reinstated and matter remanded to the court below for all further proceedings.
PRESENT: DOYLE, P.J., WINICK and SKELOS, JJ.
In the case at bar, the certified copy of the deed admitted into evidence was sufficient, when viewed in the light most favorable to the People, to establish a prima facie case of defendant's ownership of the premises at the time of the violation ( see CPL 290.10; 70.10 [1]; see also People v. Contes, 60 NY2d 620; People v. Singh 191 AD2d 731; People v. Vasguez, 142 AD2d 698).
