Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Emery Ailes, Appellant.
[700 NYS2d 831]

Opinion:
—Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Franklin Weissberg, J., on speedy trial motion; Jeffrey Atlas, J., at jury trial and sentence), rendered April 1, 1997, convicting defendant of robbery in the third degree, and sentencing him, as a second felony offender, to a term of 3 to 6 years, unanimously affirmed.
Defendant's speedy trial motion was properly denied. The adjournment of October 24, 1995, which is dispositive of the speedy trial issue, was properly excluded as a reasonable time for the People to prepare for a suppression hearing (see, People v Green, 90 AD2d 705, lv denied 58 NY2d 784). This constituted "a reasonable period of delay resulting from pretrial motions" within the meaning of CPL 30.30 (4) (a).
The revised Sandoval ruling was an appropriate exercise of the trial court's discretion (see, People v Pavao, 59 NY2d 282, 292; People v Ramos, 255 AD2d 203, lv denied 93 NY2d 856). Concur—Sullivan, J. P., Tom, Mazzarelli, Wallach and Rubin, JJ.
