Opinion
April 27, 1987
Appeal from the County Court, Nassau County (Boklan, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant was briefly detained without probable cause. This detention, however, lasted for less than 10 minutes and nothing was said or done by the defendant during this period which was prejudicial to him or which was in any significant way connected to his subsequent confessions. Any taint which may have resulted from this detention without probable cause was clearly attenuated by the significant intervening event of his legal arrest (see, People v Rogers, 52 N.Y.2d 527, 532-533, cert denied 454 U.S. 898; People v Martinez, 37 N.Y.2d 662, 669; People v Rondan, 116 A.D.2d 750, 753, lv denied 67 N.Y.2d 950). Bracken, J.P., Lawrence, Kunzeman and Spatt, JJ., concur.
