February 8, 2005.
Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Laura Drager, J., at hearing; Daniel P. FitzGerald, J., at plea and sentence), rendered May 30, 2002, convicting defendant of criminal sale of a controlled substance in the fifth degree, and sentencing him, as a second felony offender, to a term of 2 to 4 years, unanimously affirmed.
Before: Mazzarelli, J.P., Saxe, Ellerin, Williams and Sweeny, JJ., concur.
The court properly denied defendant's suppression motion. The radioed description of the drug seller, which featured a detailed clothing description, was sufficiently specific, given the very close spatial and temporal factors, to provide probable cause for the arrest ( see e.g. People v. Rampersant, 272 AD2d 202, lv denied 95 NY2d 870; People v. Ward, 182 AD2d 573, lv denied 81 NY2d 849; People v. Moczo, 174 AD2d 365, lv denied 78 NY2d 1013).
