The People of the State of New York,Respondent,
v
Warren Farrier, Appellant.

[*1]Lynn W. L. Fahey, New York, N.Y. (David P. Greenberg of counsel), for appellant.

Charles J. Hynes, District Attorney, Brooklyn, N.Y. (Leonard Joblove and Ruth Ross ofcounsel), for respondent.

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (D'Emic, J.),rendered December 20, 2004, convicting him of murder in the second degree and criminalpossession of a weapon in the second degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence. Theappeal brings up for review the denial, after a hearing, of those branches of the defendant'somnibus motion which were to suppress certain physical evidence and lineup identificationevidence.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

Contrary to the defendant's contention, the hearing court properly determined that there wasprobable cause for the defendant's arrest, and accordingly, properly denied those branches of hisomnibus motion which were to suppress certain physical evidence and lineup identificationevidence as the products of an illegal arrest (see People v Bigelow, 66 NY2d 417 [1985];People v Garcia, 284 AD2d 481 [2001]; People v Mapp, 245 AD2d 307 [1997];People v Martin, 221 AD2d 568 [1995]).

The defendant contends that he was denied a fair trial when the trial court failed to disclose,or respond to, a jury note. However, the record is bereft of any evidence that this note existed.Therefore, since this contention is based on matter dehors the record, it is not properly before uson the direct appeal from the judgment (see People v Bramble, 37 AD3d 484 [2007]; People vConyers, 298 AD2d 597 [2002]).[*2]

The sentence imposed was not excessive (see Peoplev Suitte, 90 AD2d 80 [1982]). Miller, J.P., Ritter, Santucci and Balkin, JJ., concur.
