Opinion
May 20, 1996
Appeal from the County Court, Westchester County (Leavitt, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The search of the premises was pursuant to the consent of the legal representative of the owner. That consent was an independent act of free will, sufficiently attenuated from the taint of any prior allegedly illegal conduct ( see, People v Borges, 69 N.Y.2d 1031). Accordingly, seizure of the gun was proper.
The defendant's remaining contentions are without merit ( see, People v. Huffman, 61 N.Y.2d 795). Rosenblatt, J.P., Miller, Pizzuto and Goldstein, JJ., concur.
