The court properly denied defendant's speedy trial motion because the People were chargeable with, at most, 178 days. In this two-defendant, attempted murder case that culminated in a two-week, 13-witness trial, the 49-day adjournment to prepare for trial after motions, while rather lengthy, was reasonable under the circumstances (see, People v. Ali, 195 A.D.2d 368, 369, lv denied 82 N.Y.2d 804). Defendant's challenge to the seven-day period beginning October 23, 1996 is unpreserved and we decline to review it in the interest of justice. Were we to review this claim, we would find that the record sufficiently establishes that this period of time was requested by defense counsel.
Defendant's suppression motion was properly denied. The detailed description of the uncommon car from which shots were fired at the identified citizen informants, along with the descriptions of the occupants and the closeness of the spatial and temporal factors, provided more than sufficient probable cause to arrest the occupants of the car (Chambers v. Maroney, 399 U.S. 42, 46-47; People v. Brnja, 50 N.Y.2d 366, 373) and to search the car for a gun pursuant to the automobile exception.
Defendant's remaining contentions are unpreserved and we decline to review them in the interest of justice. Were we to review these claims, we would reject them.
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
