Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Keith Keeton, Appellant.
[684 NYS2d 448]

Opinion:
—Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: There is no merit to the contention of defendant that Supreme Court should have suppressed a statement that he made to a police investigator following his arrest. Although the statement was made while defendant was in custody at the Public Safety Building, the evidence adduced at the Huntley hearing supports the court's conclusion that the statement was not the result of police interrogation or its functional equivalent (see, People v Huffman, 61 NY2d 795; People v Reinard, 244 AD2d 936, lv denied 91 NY2d 896). (Appeal from Judgment of Supreme Court, Monroe County, Galloway, J. — Robbery, 3rd Degree.) Present — Den-man, P. J., Hayes, Balio, Boehm and Fallon, JJ.
