| Parties | , 345 N.E.2d 584 The PEOPLE of the State of New York, Respondent, v. Willie L. BRANDON and Hosea Green, Appellants. |
| Court | New York Court of Appeals Court of Appeals |
Stanley L. Shapiro, Hauppauge, for appellants.
Henry F. O'Brien, Dist. Atty. (Kevin J. Crowley, Middle Island, of counsel), for respondent.
The order of the Appellate Term should be affirmed. Although the affidavit in support of the search warrant suffers from its failure to state the specific dates of the informer's observations, it is bolstered by the detailed independent and confirmatory observations of the police officers themselves made as recently as the day before the warrant issued. Under the circumstances, there was sufficient verification of the reliability of the informer and the trustworthiness of his information to withstand the attack on its issuance. (See People v. Hanlon, 36 N.Y.2d 549, 557--558, 369 N.Y.S.2d 677, 330 N.E.2d 631.)
Order affirmed in a memorandum.
