v
Johnny Lynch, Defendant-Appellant.
Robert S. Dean, Center for Appellate Litigation, New York
(Lisa Packard of counsel), and DLA Piper LLP (US), New York
(Marc A. Silverman of counsel), for appellant.
Cyrus R. Vance, Jr., District Attorney, New York (Hope Korenstein of counsel), for respondent.
Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Herbert J. Adlerberg, J.H.O. at hearing; Charles H. Solomon, J. at plea and sentencing), rendered April 27, 2010, convicting defendant of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the fourth degree, and sentencing him to a term of one year, unanimously affirmed.
The court properly denied defendant's suppression motion. There is no basis for disturbing the factfinder's credibility determinations, including the finding that an officer smelled the odor of marijuana emanating from defendant's car during a traffic stop.
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER
OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
