People v. Soto

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Oct 13, 1998
254 A.D.2d 95 (N.Y. App. Div. 1998)

Opinion

October 13, 1998

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Budd Goodman, J.).


The trial court properly declined to submit criminal possession of a controlled substance in the seventh degree as a lesser included offense because there was no reasonable view of the evidence that defendant possessed the additional glassine envelopes of heroin without intent to sell them ( see, People v. Gray, 232 A.D.2d 179, lv denied 89 N.Y.2d 1093).

The motion court correctly denied defendant's motion to suppress without a hearing where defendant's moving papers failed to allege a factual dispute regarding the legality of the police officer's conduct ( see, People v. Mendoza, 82 N.Y.2d 415).

We have considered and rejected defendant's challenges to the court's supplemental jury instructions.

Concur — Lerner, P.J., Sullivan, Mazzarelli, Andrias and Saxe, JJ.
