Appeal from the Supreme Court, Appellate Term, First Judicial Department, 65 Misc.2d 909, 319 N.Y.S.2d 731.

The Criminal Court of the City of New York, Bronx County, William J. Drohan, J., entered order which granted motion to suppress in part and the People appealed.

[333 N.Y.S.2d 168] The Appellate Term reversed, denied the motion, and remitted for further proceedings and permission to appeal was granted by Associate Judge of Court of Appeals.

In the Court of Appeals the defendant argued that the search of his person by high school Coordinator of Discipline, conducted without a warrant and without probable cause, violated his right, under the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution, to be secure against unreasonable searches and seizures. The People argued that, assuming the Coordinator was a governmental official subject to the strictures of the Fourth Amendment, his search of defendant was not unreasonable in the light of all the circumstances, including the facts known to him and the need to take prompt action.
