Opinion
December 8, 1986
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Pincus, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
We reject the defendant's contention that the warrantless arrest in his home and the seizure of a gun found therein violated his constitutional rights. The hearing court properly found that the warrantless arrest was due to exigent circumstances (see, Dorman v. United States, 435 F.2d 385, 392; People v. Gordon, 110 A.D.2d 778, 780; People v. Green, 103 A.D.2d 362, 363-364) and that the gun was properly seized in the search as incidental to the lawful arrest (see, People v. Knapp, 52 N.Y.2d 689).
Under the circumstances of this case we also reject the defendant's contention that the sentence imposed was excessive (see, People v. Farrar, 52 N.Y.2d 302, 305; People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80, 86-87). Niehoff, J.P., Rubin, Eiber and Kunzeman, JJ., concur.
