Kenneth P. Thompson, District Attorney, Brooklyn (Howard B. Goodman of counsel), for respondent.

MEMORANDUM:The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed. Whether the circumstances of this particular case gave rise to reasonable suspicion presents a mixed question of law and fact that is beyond our review if there is support in the record for the determination (see People v. William, 19 N.Y.3d 891, 893, 948 N.Y.S.2d 578, 971 N.E.2d 859 [2012] ; People v. Pines, 99 N.Y.2d 525, 527, 752 N.Y.S.2d 266, 782 N.E.2d 62 [2002] ). Here, such record support exists. Defendant's remaining argument has been considered and found to be lacking in merit.

Chief Judge DiFIORE and Judges PIGOTT, RIVERA, ABDUS–SALAAM, STEIN, FAHEY and GARCIA concur.

On review of submissions pursuant to section 500.11 of the Rules of the Court of Appeals (22 NYCRR 500.11 ), order affirmed, in a memorandum.
