People v. Velazquez

Court of Appeals of the State of New York
Apr 30, 1985
64 N.Y.2d 1118 (N.Y. 1985)

Opinion

Decided April 30, 1985

Appeal from the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the First Judicial Department, Archie Gorfinkel, J.

Jeffrey G. Stein and William E. Hellerstein for appellant.

Mario Merola, District Attorney ( Steven L. Kessler of counsel), for respondent.


MEMORANDUM.

The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed.

Refusing to discredit the uncontradicted testimony of the sole witness at the suppression hearing, the Appellate Division affirmed the finding that the car in which defendant was riding was stopped because it was speeding. We have no occasion to disturb either this affirmed finding, which is supported by the record, or the conclusion that the stop was therefore valid ( see generally, People v Ingle, 36 N.Y.2d 413).

Chief Judge WACHTLER and Judges JASEN, MEYER, SIMONS and KAYE concur; Judge ALEXANDER taking no part.

On review of submissions pursuant to section 500.4 of the Rules of the Court of Appeals (22 N.Y.CRR 500.4), order affirmed in a memorandum.
