Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Steven E. Dodge, Appellant.

Opinion:
Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: County Court properly denied defendant's motion to suppress evidence seized pursuant to a search warrant. The issuing court properly recorded the informant's in-camera testimony, which was available for review by County Court (see, CPL 690.40 [1]; People v Taylor, 73 NY2d 683, 689). There is no statutory requirement that the written application for the search warrant must be filed with the issuing court (cf., CPL 690.36 [3]). Here, the written application was preserved and available to defense counsel for review.
