5323/13

[*1] The People of the State of New York, Respondent,
v Keith McMillan, Defendant-Appellant.

Rosemary Herbert, Office of the Appellate Defender, New York (Joseph M. Nursey of counsel), for appellant.
Cyrus R. Vance, Jr., District Attorney, New York (Amanda Katherine Regan of counsel), for respondent.

Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Edward J. McLaughlin, J.), rendered April 16, 2014, convicting defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of tampering with physical evidence, and sentencing him, as a second felony offender, to a term of 1½ to 3 years, unanimously affirmed.
The court properly denied defendant's suppression motion. There was probable cause for defendant's arrest about 30 minutes after an officer saw defendant make what appeared to be a drug sale. The observing officer provided a detailed clothing description of the seller, and also saw defendant on a live surveillance video, at which time he directed other officers to defendant's location, where defendant was immediately apprehended (see e.g. People v Coleman, 77 AD3d 591 [1st Dept 2010], lv denied 16 NY3d 829 [2011]).
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER
OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
ENTERED: SEPTEMBER 28, 2017
