Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The Supreme Court properly determined that the totality of the circumstances was such that the warrantless entry into the defendant's apartment was justified ( see, People v. Cloud, 79 N.Y.2d 786; People v. Cartier, 149 A.D.2d 524, cert denied 495 U.S. 906; People v. Renaudette, 185 A.D.2d 450; People v. Levine, 174 A.D.2d 757).
The right to counsel may be deemed to have attached if the police unnecessarily delay arraignment in a deliberate effort to deprive the defendant of counsel in order to obtain a confession ( see, People v. Ortlieb, 84 N.Y.2d 989; People v. Hopkins, 58 N.Y.2d 1079). As a general rule, however, a delay in arraignment, without more, does not cause the right to counsel to attach, and is but one factor to be considered in determining whether a confession was voluntary ( see, People v. Hopkins, supra; People v. Beckham, 174 A.D.2d 748). On this record, there is nothing to support the defendant's claim that his arraignment was unnecessarily delayed in order to deprive him of the right to counsel.
The defendant's sentence was not excessive ( see, People v. Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80, 83).
The defendant's remaining contention is without merit.
