THE PEOPLE, ETC., respondent, v. MAURICE SIMPSON, appellant.

DECISION ORDER

ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.

Contrary to the defendant's contention, the hearing court properly denied those branches of his omnibus motion which were to suppress physical evidence and his statements to law enforcement authorities. The factual findings and credibility determinations of a hearing court are entitled to great deference on appeal, and will not be disturbed unless clearly unsupported by the record ( see People v. Crider, 301 A.D.2d 612, 614). The record clearly supports the hearing court's determination denying suppression because the police had probable cause to arrest the defendant ( see People v. Dixon, 298 A.D.2d 400; People v. Hunter, 270 A.D.2d 712, 713).

The defendant's remaining contentions either are unpreserved for appellate review or without merit.

RITTER, J.P., H. MILLER, CRANE and COZIER, JJ., concur.
