HEADNOTES


Crimes - Unlawful Search and Seizure - Suppression of Physical Evidence

Appeal by the People from an order of the Supreme Court, Queens County (David J. Kirschner, J.), dated May 5, 2022. The order, insofar as appealed from, after a hearing, granted that branch of the defendant's omnibus motion which was to suppress physical evidence.

Ordered that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from.

The underlying facts of this appeal are set forth in this Court's decision and order in People v Creary (236 AD3d 672, 673 [2025]), determining the codefendant's appeal from the same order now before this Court. For the same reasons we held in People v Creary in favor of the codefendant, here, the Supreme Court properly granted that branch of the defendant's omnibus motion which was to suppress physical evidence (see id. at 674-675; People v Dubuisson, 206 AD3d 757, 759 [2022]; People v Pearson, 59 AD3d 743, 744 [2009]). Iannacci, J.P., Brathwaite Nelson, Wooten and Taylor, JJ., concur.
