Opinion
May 24, 1993
Appeal from the County Court, Nassau County (Harrington, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
We agree with the suppression court's conclusion that the police had probable cause to arrest the defendant when they observed an illicit narcotics transaction (see, People v Holton, 160 A.D.2d 729). The court therefore properly denied that branch of the defendant's motion which was to suppress physical evidence seized in connection with his lawful arrest.
We have considered the defendant's remaining contention that his sentence was excessive and find it to be without merit (see, People v Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80). Sullivan, J.P., Balletta, Lawrence and Joy, JJ., concur.
