| Decision Date | 03 February 1989 |
| Citation | 147 A.D.2d 912,538 N.Y.S.2d 730 |
| Parties | PEOPLE of the State of New York, Respondent, v. Cesar DIAZ, Appellant. |
| Court | New York Supreme Court — Appellate Division |
Abbatine and Servino, by Anthony Servino, Hartsdale, for appellant. Barry Donalty, by William Weber, Utica, for respondent.
Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: None of the issues raised by defendant on appeal has merit and only one requires comment. We have reviewed the affidavits presented to the issuing magistrate and find that they provided "information sufficient to support a reasonable belief that evidence of illegal activity [would] be present at the specific time and place of the search" (People v. Edwards, 69 N.Y.2d 814, 816, 513 N.Y.S.2d 960, 506 N.E.2d 530). Defendant has no absolute right to disclosure of the identity, affidavits or testimony of a confidential informant (People v. Delgado, 134 A.D.2d 951, 521 N.Y.S.2d 1019, lv. denied 71 N.Y.2d 895, 527 N.Y.S.2d 1004, 523 N.E.2d 311); an independent review of the facts presented is all that is required ( People v. Fino, 14 N.Y.2d 160, 163, 250 N.Y.S.2d 47, 199 N.E.2d 151). (Appeal from Judgment of Oneida County Court, Murad, J.--Criminal Possession of Controlled Substance, 1st degree.)
