MEMORANDUM DECISION.

Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Richard Andrias, J.), rendered April 6, 1994, convicting defendant, after a jury trial, of burglary in the second degree, criminal possession of stolen property in the fourth degree, and criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree, and sentencing him to concurrent prison terms of 1 1/2 to 4 1/2 years, 1 to 3 years, and 1 year, respectively, unanimously affirmed. The matter is remitted to Supreme Court, New York County for proceedings pursuant to CPL 460.50(5).

There is no basis for disturbing the hearing court's factual findings that defendant consented to a search of his office, and that his consent was not obtained by coercion (see, People v. Prochilo, 41 N.Y.2d 759, 761, 395 N.Y.S.2d 635, 363 N.E.2d 1380). The verdict was supported by legally sufficient evidence and was not against the weight of the evidence (People v. Bleakley, 69 N.Y.2d 490, 495, 515 N.Y.S.2d 761, 508 N.E.2d 672).

The value of the shoes stolen from the complainant and possessed by defendant was properly determined by replacement value, which was stipulated to be over $1000. Market value was inapplicable because there was no established retail market for the items in question, used shoes, and it could not be determined how much the items would sell for in the regular course of business (Penal Law § 155.20[1]; cf., People v. Irrizari, 5 N.Y.2d 142, 146, 182 N.Y.S.2d 361, 156 N.E.2d 69; People v. Alicea, 25 N.Y.2d 685, 306...
