Opinion:
OPINION OF THE COURT
Memorandum.
The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed. The determination whether defendant had a legitimate expectation of privacy involved a mixed question of law and fact. Where, as here, there exists record support for the Appellate Division's determination of this mixed question, the issue is beyond this Court's further review (see, e.g., People v Ortiz, 83 NY2d 840, 843).
Chief Judge Kaye and Judges Bellacosa, Smith, Levine, Ciparick, Wesley and Rosenblatt concur.
Order affirmed in a memorandum.
