Opinion
June 13, 1996
Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Michael Obus, J.).
Defendant's suppression motion was properly denied on the basis of police testimony that defendant was seen purchasing a holster and then seen repeatedly adjusting a bulge in his rear waistband where the outline of a gun was visible. These observations permitted the officers to immediately remove the weapon from defendant's waistband ( People v. Prochilo, 41 N.Y.2d 759; People v. Lugo, 177 A.D.2d 427, lv denied 79 N.Y.2d 949).
We have considered defendant's remaining contentions and find them to be without merit.
