THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. LUIS GARCIA, Appellant.

The motion court properly denied defendant's motion to suppress statements and physical evidence. Probable cause was established through a very lengthy chain of incriminating circumstances. While each piece of information, viewed singly, might have had an innocent explanation, the information provided probable cause when viewed as a whole ( see People v. Bigelow, 66 NY2d 417, 423).

The court properly found that defendant's girlfriend had voluntarily consented to searches of her car and of the apartment in which she and defendant lived ( see generally People v. Gonzalez, 39 NY2d 122, 128-131). There is no basis for disturbing the court's credibility determinations, which are supported by the record ( see People v. Prochilo, 41 NY2d 759, 761).

The record establishes that defendant waived his present contention that the court improperly suspended deliberations of the nonsequestered jury for more than the statutorily mandated period of 24 hours (CPL 310.10).

We have considered and rejected defendant's hearsay argument, and we perceive no basis for reducing the sentence.
