Opinion
Decided September 2, 1993
Appeal from the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the First Judicial Department, Phylis Skloot Bamberger, J.
Steven Berko, New York City, and Philip L. Weinstein for appellant.
Robert T. Johnson, District Attorney of Bronx County, Bronx (Raphael J. Berman and Peter D. Coddington of counsel), for respondent.
MEMORANDUM.
The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed.
The suppression court's undisturbed finding that defendant abandoned the bag when he "flew out" of the livery cab is supported by the record and thus beyond further review by this Court (see, People v Hollman, 79 N.Y.2d 181, 193-194; People v Harrison, 57 N.Y.2d 470, 478). The record supports the hearing court's inference that when defendant exited the cab in an abrupt manner and without ever having been directed to do so by the police, he would have run away had one of the police officers not blocked his path.
On review of submissions pursuant to section 500.4 of the Rules of the Court of Appeals (22 N.Y.CRR 500.4), order affirmed in a memorandum.
Chief Judge KAYE and Judges SIMONS, TITONE, HANCOCK, JR., BELLACOSA and SMITH concur.
