THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. JULIAN DELACRUZ, Appellant.

The hearing court, which suppressed defendant's initial statement to police for lack of Miranda warnings, correctly found attenuation with regard to all of defendant's subsequent post- Miranda statements, given the passage of time, and the changes in location, interrogators, and type and content of questioning ( see People v. Paulman, 5 NY3d 122, 130-134; People v. Heron, 240 AD2d 156, lv denied 90 NY2d 1011; see also Missouri v. Seibert, 542 US 600). After defendant properly waived his Miranda rights and made a statement, there were no circumstances present that would require repetition of the warnings prior to defendant's further statements and, in any event, new warnings were provided prior to the final videotaped statement ( see People v. Hotchkiss, 260 AD2d 241, lv denied 93 NY2d 1003).

Based on our review of the minutes of the Darden hearing ( People v. Darden, 34 NY2d 177), we conclude that the police had probable cause for defendant's arrest.

Defendant was not prejudiced by uncharged crimes evidence that did not refer to him, but rather to another person, and that was admissible in any event ( see People v. Garcia, 19 AD3d 215, lv denied 5 NY3d 789).

As the People concede, defendant should be resentenced because the prosecutor inadvertently gave the sentencing court certain unfavorable misinformation about defendant, upon which the court apparently relied in imposing sentence.

Defendant's remaining contentions, including those contained in his pro se supplemental brief, are unpreserved and we decline to review them in the interest of justice. Were we to review these claims, we would reject them.
