People v. Dekle

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Apr 23, 1993
192 A.D.2d 471 (N.Y. App. Div. 1993)

Opinion

April 23, 1993

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Clifford A. Scott, J.).


Defendant's pretrial motions to suppress physical evidence were properly denied without a hearing since his motion papers contained only legal conclusions and conclusory allegations that failed to show that the evidence was unlawfully seized (CPL 710.60; People v Kitchen, 162 A.D.2d 178, lv denied 76 N.Y.2d 941). Defendant's most specific assertion — that of the time of the first arrest and immediately prior thereto he was doing nothing but standing on the street — is merely a pro forma legal conclusion of innocence that does not warrant a hearing (People v Covington, 144 A.D.2d 238, lv denied 73 N.Y.2d 890).

Concur — Carro, J.P., Wallach, Asch and Rubin, JJ.
