People v. Griffis

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department

219 A.D.2d 868 (N.Y. App. Div. 1995)

Opinion

September 29, 1995

Appeal from the Ontario County Court, Harvey, J.

Present Pine, J.P., Lawton, Wesley, Callahan and Doerr, JJ.


Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: County Court properly denied defendant's motion to suppress the shotgun found in plain view by the police during a protective sweep of the motel room from which defendant had emerged (see, People v Smith, 179 A.D.2d 597, lv denied 79 N.Y.2d 1008; People v Febus, 157 A.D.2d 380, appeal dismissed 77 N.Y.2d 835). Because the seizure of the shotgun was proper, defendant's statements made subsequent to the seizure were not tainted by any illegality.
