Opinion
May 7, 1990
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Egitto, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
We agree with the hearing court's determination that the statements made by the defendant to law enforcement officials would have been admissible against him had he chosen to go to trial, since the People met their burden of establishing that those statements were voluntarily made under circumstances which were in accord with the dictates of Miranda v. Arizona ( 384 U.S. 436).
We further find the defendant's contention that the sentence imposed is excessive to be without merit (see, People v Kazepis, 101 A.D.2d 816; People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80). Mangano, P.J., Brown, Kooper and Harwood, JJ., concur.
