Opinion
April 2, 1992
Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Ira F. Beal, J.).
Defendant failed to sustain his burden of showing sufficient privacy interests in the apartment to establish standing to challenge the warrantless police entry, search and seizure (People v Wesley, 73 N.Y.2d 351, 358-359). Even if we were to consider the merits of defendant's claim, we would find sufficient exigency to justify the police conduct (People v Derosario, 179 A.D.2d 533; see, People v Cruz, 149 A.D.2d 151, 160).
By not timely and specifically objecting to the court's answering of oral questions from the jury during deliberations, defendant's argument that such violated CPL 310.30 is not preserved for review (People v Derosario, supra). In any event, since the court in these exchanges, was merely clarifying its answers to written questions, and defense counsel was fully aware of the inquiries and given an opportunity in each instance to make a record, it cannot be said that defendant was deprived of a due process right (see, supra).
Concur — Murphy, P.J., Carro, Wallach, Ross and Rubin, JJ.
