People v. Brandon

Court of Appeals of the State of New York
Dec 29, 1975
345 N.E.2d 584 (N.Y. 1975)

Opinion

Argued November 21, 1975

Decided December 29, 1975

Appeal from the Supreme Court in the Second Judicial Department, EDWARD U. GREEN, J.

Stanley L. Shapiro for appellants.

Henry F. O'Brien, District Attorney (Kevin J. Crowley of counsel), for respondent.


MEMORANDUM.

The order of the Appellate Term should be affirmed. Although the affidavit in support of the search warrant suffers from its failure to state the specific dates of the informer's observations, it is bolstered by the detailed independent and confirmatory observations of the police officers themselves made as recently as the day before the warrant issued. Under the circumstances, there was sufficient verification of the reliability of the informer and the trustworthiness of his information to withstand the attack on its issuance. (See People v Hanlon, 36 N.Y.2d 549, 557-558.)

Chief Judge BREITEL and Judges JASEN, GABRIELLI, JONES, WACHTLER, FUCHSBERG and COOKE concur.

Order affirmed in a memorandum.
