People v. Rivers

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Dec 9, 1985
115 A.D.2d 570 (N.Y. App. Div. 1985)

Opinion

December 9, 1985

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Lombardo, J.).


Judgments affirmed.

Defendant's trial counsel conceded at the oral argument of defendant's motion for a Payton hearing that defendant did not live in the apartment in which he was arrested. Defendant made no showing of any circumstances surrounding his alleged presence at that apartment which would give rise to a reasonable expectation of privacy therein (see, People v Ponder, 54 N.Y.2d 160, 166; People v Van Buren, 87 A.D.2d 900, 901). His motion for a Payton hearing was therefore properly denied (see, CPL 710.60).

Defendant's subsequent attempt to persuade a different Judge to conduct a Payton inquiry during the course of a Huntley hearing was properly rejected. The Judge who originally denied defendant's motion was still available and defendant declined the court's offers for a recess of the Huntley hearing to permit defendant to move for reargument or renewal before that Judge.

We have examined defendant's other contentions and find them to be without merit. Gibbons, J.P., Bracken, Lawrence and Kunzeman, JJ., concur.
