Opinion
February 4, 1991
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Berkowitz, J.).
Ordered that the appeal is dismissed.
"As a rule, no appeal lies from an order arising out of a criminal proceeding absent specific statutory authorization" (People v Santos, 64 N.Y.2d 702, 704). Since CPL 450.20 (8) permits an appeal by the People only when suppression is granted under CPL 710.20, and that was not the basis for the preclusion in this case, the order is not appealable (see, People v Laing, 168 A.D.2d 635). Brown, J.P., Balletta, Rosenblatt and Ritter, JJ., concur.
