People v. Langston

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Oct 27, 1997
243 A.D.2d 728 (N.Y. App. Div. 1997)

Opinion

October 27, 1997

Appeal from Supreme Court, Queens County (Buchter, J.),


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant's statement during the police inventory of his personal property at or shortly after his arrest, was made in response to a routine booking question. The officer's request that the defendant count the money found on his person was reasonably related to the officer's administrative concerns and was not likely to elicit an incriminating admission. Therefore the suppression of the defendant's response was properly denied ( see, People v. Rodney, 85 N.Y.2d 289).

Rosenblatt, J.P., Ritter, Krausman and Florio, JJ., concur.
