People v. Matias

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Jun 1, 1998
251 A.D.2d 351 (N.Y. App. Div. 1998)

Opinion

June 1, 1998

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Cooperman, J.).


Ordered that the judgments are affirmed.

Contrary to the defendant's contention, the police possessed probable cause to believe that his car contained evidence relating to a crime. Therefore, the search of the interior of the car without a search warrant was legal ( see, People v. Orlando, 56 N.Y.2d 441).

The sentence imposed was not excessive ( see, People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80).

The defendant's remaining contentions, including those raised in his supplemental pro se brief, are without merit.

Mangano, P. J., Thompson, Santucci and Altman, JJ., concur.
