THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. JULIO NEGRON, Appellant.

Judgment affirmed.

The testimony by undercover officer Robert Cortes that codefendant Blanca Cruz told him "we got some [`black bags' or heroin]" as she pointed to the defendant, was properly admissible as a statement by a coconspirator that had adequate independent indicia of reliability. Admission of this testimony therefore did not violate the defendant's confrontation rights (see, People v Sanders, 56 N.Y.2d 51). This court has previously examined the trial court's charge on the appeal from codefendant Blanca Cruz' conviction and found it did not warrant reversal (see, People v Cruz, 119 A.D.2d 765). We have reviewed the defendant's other contentions and find them to be without merit. Lazer, J.P., Mangano, Brown and Weinstein, JJ., concur.
