People v. Kelly

Court of Appeals of the State of New York
Jun 10, 1982
438 N.E.2d 1112 (N.Y. 1982)

Opinion

Argued May 7, 1982

Decided June 10, 1982

Appeal from the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the Third Judicial Department, LOUIS B. SCHEINMAN, J., JOHN J. CLYNE, J.,

Irving Anolik for Peter Kelly, appellant.

Jay A. Kaplan for Lloyd Breen, appellant.

Michael Kavanagh, District Attorney ( Marsha Solomon of counsel), for respondent.


MEMORANDUM.

The orders of the Appellate Division should be affirmed.

The defendants' contention that the initial entry of the police into the room was not justified, does not raise any question warranting reversal in this court. The finding that the police reasonably believed that an emergency existed involves a mixed question of law and fact. Since there is support in the record for the finding, which has been affirmed by the Appellate Division, it is beyond review in this court. We would note, in addition, that we find no error concerning the proceedings surrounding the pleas.

Chief Judge COOKE and Judges JASEN, GABRIELLI, JONES, WACHTLER, FUCHSBERG and MEYER concur.

In each case: Order affirmed, in a memorandum.
