People v. McDermott

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
May 30, 1989
150 A.D.2d 805 (N.Y. App. Div. 1989)

Opinion

May 30, 1989

Appeal from the County Court, Westchester County (Colabella, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution (see, People v Contes, 60 N.Y.2d 620), we find that it was legally sufficient to establish the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. The arrest of the defendant on the out-of-State warrant was authorized by CPL 570.34, and there is no requirement that the police have the warrant with them at the time they effect the arrest (CPL 120.80). In any event, the evidence at trial clearly established that the defendant had consented to the officers' entry into his home.

We have considered the defendant's remaining contentions and find them to be without merit. Bracken, J.P., Eiber, Spatt and Rosenblatt, JJ., concur.
