Opinion
July 5, 1994
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Bronx County (Gerald Sheindlin, J.).
The trial court properly denied defendant's suppression motion without a hearing where his papers were vague and conclusory. Defendant merely stated that he did not sell or possess drugs, and that the police violated his Fourth Amendment rights by arresting him, which did not refute the People's detailed statements relating the officers' observation of defendant and co-defendants selling narcotics (see, People v. Mendoza, 82 N.Y.2d 415).
The trial court did not improperly interfere with defense counsel's summation and cross-examination (see, People v. De Jesus, 42 N.Y.2d 519, 523). The trial court's admonishment of counsel for interrupting the witness and failing to heed sustained objections justified the court's issuance of instructions to the jury to disregard counsel's statements (see, People v. Cuba, 154 A.D.2d 703, 704, lv denied 75 N.Y.2d 811).
We have considered defendant's remaining contentions and find them meritless.
Concur — Sullivan, J.P., Carro, Ellerin, Asch and Tom, JJ.
