THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. KENNETH BARTON, Appellant.

Judgment unanimously reversed on the law, plea vacated, motion to suppress granted and matter remitted to Jefferson County Court for further proceedings on indictment. Memorandum: The search of defendant's vehicle was not a valid inventory search because the police failed to generate a meaningful inventory of the vehicle's contents and allowed the officer conducting the search undue discretion (see, People v Galak, 80 N.Y.2d 715, 718-719). Consequently, defendant's motion to suppress the seized items should have been granted.
