Opinion

November 30, 1993

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Charles Tejada, J.).

Defendant's re-entry into a building from which he had just emerged upon the appearance of an unmarked police vehicle did not justify the immediate pursuit by the police (see, People v Holmes, 81 N.Y.2d 1056; People v Monegro, 197 A.D.2d 437; cf., People v Robbins, 196 A.D.2d 699).

Concur — Murphy, P.J., Sullivan, Rosenberger, Ross and Rubin, JJ.
