THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, RESPONDENT, v. ALEX ORTIZ, DEFENDANT-APPELLANT.

Defendant's suppression motion was properly denied. The observing officer's transmission established probable cause for defendant's arrest. The description of a Hispanic man wearing a black plastic jacket, a red shirt and blue pants was sufficiently specific, particularly since defendant was arrested at the specified location immediately after the drug transaction and was the only person present and matched the description (People v. Rampersant, 272 A.D.2d 202, 203,lv denied 95 N.Y.2d 870; People v. Acevedo, 181 A.D.2d 596, lv denied 79 N.Y.2d 1045).

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
