People v. Johnson
Opinion of the Court
—Judgment,
The trial court properly exercised its discretion in declining to reopen the Mapp hearing (see People v Clark, 88 NY2d 552). The record supports the court’s determination that the officer’s pending police disciplinary matter, arising out of an unrelated incident that occurred months after he testified at the hearing, was irrelevant to the issues raised in the Mapp hearing, and thus did not warrant reopening. Concur — Tom, J.P., Andrias, Sullivan, Rosenberger and Gonzalez, JJ.
