Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The hearing court properly concluded that the frisk of the defendant which resulted in the seizure of a gun was supported by the requisite predicate of reasonable suspicion by the police that the defendant might be armed ( see, e.g., People v. Batista, 88 N.Y.2d 650; People v. Benjamin, 51 N.Y.2d 267, 271).
