 Appellant.

Submitted by Bryan M. Racino, for appellant.
Submitted by Emilee B. Davenport, for respondent.


MEMORANDUM:
The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed.
A determination whether exigent circumstances existed to justify the warrantless entry into the apartment involves a mixed question of law and fact. Where, as here, there exists record support for the Appellate Division's resolution of this question; the issue is beyond this Court's power of review (see People v Brown , 95 NY2d 942 [2000], People v Hallman , 92 NY2d [*2]840 [1998]).
We agree with the Appellate Division that defendant's remaining contentions lack merit or are unpreserved.

On review of submissions pursuant to section 500.11 of the Rules, order affirmed, in a memorandum. Chief Judge Lippman and Judges Read, Pigott, Rivera and Abdus-Salaam concur. Judges Stein and Fahey took no part.
