Parties, 390 N.E.2d 775 The PEOPLE of the State of New York, Respondent, v. Theodore JENKINS, Appellant.
Decision Date24 April 1979
CourtNew York Court of Appeals Court of Appeals
Matthew Muraskin, Michael J. Obus and Leslie P. Rudman, Mineola, for appellant.
OPINION OF THE COURT MEMORANDUM.

The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed.

The record reveals that the defendant's challenge to the existence of probable cause for his arrest was directed to the sufficiency of the evidence rather than its reliability. As to the latter, since the motion to suppress did not attack the underlying basis for the police alarm, the presumption of probable cause to issue it remained (see People v. Lypka, 36 N.Y.2d 210, 366 N.Y.S.2d 622, 326 N.E.2d 294). The People therefore were not called upon to rebut the presumption by an evidentiary showing. And, absent attack on the bulletin, we find the other facts and circumstances sufficient to support the now affirmed finding of probable cause. It follows that the confession was not the fruit of an unlawful arrest.

COOKE, C. J., and JASEN, GABRIELLI, JONES, WACHTLER and FUCHSBERG, JJ., concur.

Order affirmed in a memorandum.
