The People &c., 
            Appellant,
         v. 
Elvis Silvestry, 
            Respondent.
Submitted by Edward D. Saslaw, for appellant.
Submitted by Sally Butler, for respondent.
MEMORANDUM:
The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed.
Whether the circumstances of a particular case rise to
the level of reasonable suspicion is a mixed question of law and
fact, beyond our review if the determination is supported by the
record.  Here record evidence supports the lower courts’

determination that the police lacked such suspicion (People v
DeBour, 40 NY2d 210 [1976]).
The People’s other contentions lack merit.
