People v. Williams

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Feb 11, 1991
170 A.D.2d 551 (N.Y. App. Div. 1991)

Opinion

February 11, 1991

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Rienzi, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

Contrary to the defendant's contention on appeal, we find no basis to disturb the Supreme Court's determination that the defendant was not entitled to a Mapp/Dunaway hearing. The defendant's allegations were insufficient to raise an issue concerning the probable cause for his arrest pursuant to a so-called "buy and bust" operation, and the subsequent search and seizure leading to the recovery of crack cocaine on or near his person (see, CPL 710.60; People v Innis, 161 A.D.2d 730). "In the absence of any factual allegations based upon personal knowledge, or based upon information and belief, the summary denial of that branch of the defendant's motion which was for suppression was entirely appropriate, as no factual issues warranting a hearing were presented in the defendant's motion papers" (People v Pavesi, 144 A.D.2d 392, 393).

The defendant's remaining contentions are either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit. Brown, J.P., Sullivan, Rosenblatt and Ritter, JJ., concur.
