People v. Stewart

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department
Mar 16, 1990
159 A.D.2d 971 (N.Y. App. Div. 1990)

Opinion

March 16, 1990

Appeal from the Cattaraugus County Court, Kelly, J.

Present — Denman, J.P., Pine, Lawton, Davis and Lowery, JJ.


Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: Defendant contends that the suppression court erred in denying his motion to suppress physical evidence without a hearing. We disagree. Since the informant appeared and testified under oath before the Magistrate, a hearing to determine the reliability and veracity of the informant under the two-pronged Aguilar-Spinelli test is not required (see, People v Taylor, 73 N.Y.2d 683, 688). We further conclude that the contemporaneous summary by the Magistrate of the substance of the testimony of the informant adequately preserved for review the grounds upon which the search warrant was issued and was in substantial compliance with the requirements of CPL 690.40 (1) (see, People v Brown, 40 N.Y.2d 183; People v Peterson, 47 A.D.2d 431, 434; cf., People v Taylor, supra, at 688-691).
