PEOPLE v. QUESADO

8962, 2512/08.

2013 NY Slip Op 00045

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. JUSTO QUESADO, Defendant-Appellant.

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department.

Decided January 8, 2013.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Steven Banks , The Legal Aid Society, New York ( William B. Carney of counsel), for appellant.

Cyrus R. Vance, Jr. , District Attorney, New York ( Jamie Masten of counsel), for respondent.

Before: Tom, J.P., Andrias, Freedman, Román, Gische, JJ.


The court properly denied defendant's suppression motion. There is no basis for disturbing the court's credibility determinations. The experienced narcotics officer's observation of what appeared to be the exchange of a bag of white powder for money provided probable cause for defendant's arrest (see People v Jones, 90 N.Y.2d 835 [1997]).
