Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
Police Officer Stephen Smith's decision to stop the vehicle in which the defendant was a passenger was justified by his observation that the driver had committed a traffic infraction ( see People v. Robinson, 97 NY2d 341, 351-353; People v. Romeo, 15 AD3d 420). At the suppression hearing, the defendant failed to carry his burden of establishing his standing to contest the search of the lawfully-stopped vehicle ( see People v. Tejada, 81 NY2d 861; People v. Ballard, 16 AD3d 697, 698; People v. Phillips, 260 AD2d 582, 583). In any event, his entirely unprovoked flight, leaving the vehicle and his companions and running off a highway and into the woods, constituted an abandonment of the 11-pound brick of cocaine and other narcotics found in the trunk of the car and undermined any claim to a reasonable expectation of privacy he might otherwise have had ( see People v. Byrd, 304 AD2d 490; People v. Perez, 301 AD2d 434, 435).
The defendant's remaining contentions, including those raised in his supplemental pro se brief, are either unpreserved for appellate review or without merit.
