92 A.D.2d 723 (N.Y. App. Div. 1983)

Opinion

February 28, 1983

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

Present — Hancock, Jr., J.P., Callahan, Denman, Boomer and Moule, JJ.


Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: The breathalyzer test was properly admitted into evidence (see People v. Farrell, 58 N.Y.2d 637), and defendant's guilt for driving while he had .10% or more by weight of alcohol in his blood as shown by chemical analysis of his breath (Vehicle and Traffic Law, § 1192, subds 2, 5) was established by legally sufficient evidence. The unresponsive answer to a single question propounded to the defendant by the officer did not constitute a process of interrogation that falls within the ambit of Miranda v. Arizona ( 384 U.S. 436; see People v. Huffman, 41 N.Y.2d 29).
