MEMORANDUM:
The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed. The
determinations regarding founded suspicion of criminality justifying a request to search the car, and then the trunk, and defendant's consent to a search of the vehicle, all involve mixed questions [*2]of law and fact. The determinations are supported by the record, and are beyond further review (see People v Valerio , 95 NY2d 924, 925 [2000]).
