Opinion
September 14, 1998
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Buchter, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The hearing court properly concluded that the defendant's arrest was supported by probable cause and that the subsequent search of his personal effects during the booking process was lawful ( see, People v. Perel, 34 N.Y.2d 462, 466; People v. Greenwald, 90 A.D.2d 668; cf., Illinois v. Lafayette, 462 U.S. 640, 642).
The defendant's remaining contentions are without merit.
Bracken, J.P. Thompson, Sullivan and Pizzuto, JJ., concur.
