Ordered that the appeal is dismissed.
"As a rule, no appeal lies from an order arising out of a criminal proceeding absent specific statutory authorization" (People v. Santos, 64 N.Y.2d 702, 704). CPL 450.20 (8) permits an appeal by the People only when suppression is granted under CPL 710.20, and that was not the basis for the preclusion in this case. Since there is no statutory authorization for the instant appeal, it must be dismissed. Eiber, J.P., Sullivan, Balletta and O'Brien, JJ., concur.
