240 A.D.2d 272 (N.Y. App. Div. 1997)

Opinion

June 17, 1997

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Edwin Torres, J.).


Under the applicable standards ( People v. Martinez, 82 N.Y.2d 436), the courtroom was properly closed during the undercover detectives' testimony. The Hinton hearing testimony "established the necessary spatial and temporal relationship among the courthouse, the location of the defendant's arrest, and the anticipated geographic location of [their] future investigative work" ( People v. Brown, 214 A.D.2d 438, 439, lv denied 86 N.Y.2d 791).

Concur — Milonas, J.P., Ellerin, Nardelli, Williams and Mazzarelli, JJ.
