PEOPLE v. DeBAPTISTE

ORDERED that the judgment, as amended, is affirmed.

The defendant's argument that the indictment should be dismissed because the prosecutor breached his duty of fair dealing at the Grand Jury proceeding is unpreserved for appellate review (see, CPL 470.05), and, in any event, is without merit (see, People v. Thomas, 213 A.D.2d 73, affd 88 N.Y.2d 821; People v. Thompson, 116 A.D.2d 377).

To the extent that the defendant challenges the suppression ruling on the basis of contradictions between the detectives' hearing testimony and trial testimony, this argument is not properly before this court because he failed to move to reopen the hearing (see, People v. Gold, 249 A.D.2d 414; People v. Diaz, 194 A.D.2d 688; People v. Sumpter, 192 A.D.2d 628). In any event, his contention "is grounded in attacking the credibility" of the witnesses at the hearing (People v. Sumpter, supra, 192 A.D.2d at 629). However, the hearing court properly found that they testified credibly at the hearing (see, People v. Sumpter, supra, 192 A.D.2d at 629), and their testimony demonstrated that the gun was not seized as a result of any illegal police conduct (see, CPL 140.50; People v. Beriguette, 84 N.Y.2d 978; People v. Belton, 55 N.Y.2d 49). Accordingly, the court properly refused to suppress the gun.

The defendant's remaining contentions are unpreserved for appellate review and, in any event, without merit.
