PEOPLE v. McCOY

ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.

The hearing court properly determined that the warrantless arrest of the defendant in a hotel room was based on probable cause and was justified by exigent circumstances (see, People v. Burr, 70 N.Y.2d 354, cert denied 485 U.S. 989 ; People v. Conforti, 263 A.D.2d 513). The items found in the defendant's jacket during a search at the police station following his arrest were admissible (see,People v. Perel, 34 N.Y.2d 462 ; People v. Tejada, 253 A.D.2d 832, affd 93 N.Y.2d 963 ).

Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution (see, People v. Contes, 60 N.Y.2d 620 ), we find that it was legally sufficient to establish the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Moreover, upon the exercise of our factual review power, we are satisfied that the verdict of guilt was not against the weight of the evidence (see, CPL 470.15[5]).

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