THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. SAM JOHNSON, Also Known as KEITH JOHNSON, Appellant.

An examination of the minutes of the suppression hearing demonstrates sufficient evidence to support the trial court's factual determination that there was probable cause to arrest defendant and that the removal of the credit cards from his person was incident to a lawful arrest. Moreover, there is no legal or statutory authority for the proposition apparently advanced by defendant that the People have an absolute renewed obligation to supply all Rosario material to each successive attorney on the same case even in the absence of any indication that defendant's new counsel has made an effort to obtain such material from defendant's prior lawyer. In that regard, the cases cited by defendant (People v Nieves, 67 N.Y.2d 125; People v Malizia, 62 N.Y.2d 755, cert denied 469 U.S. 932) merely hold that evidentiary rulings made in one trial are generally not binding at a subsequent trial. Finally, defendant's sentence was not excessive under the circumstances herein.

Concur — Sullivan, J.P., Asch, Milonas, Rosenberger and Smith, JJ.
