Opinion
January 12, 1999.
Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Laura Drager, J.).
Defendant's suppression motion was properly denied. The "no knock" provision of the search warrant was not based solely' upon the fact that drugs were involved. The issuing Magistrate was furnished with sufficient details of defendant's selling operation to support reasonable suspicion that defendant would be present at the time of the search and that the drugs were of a type, and were in locations in the apartment, that made them readily disposable ( see, Richards v. Wisconsin, 520 U.S. 385).
