People v. Jaen

Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Robert M. Stolz, J.), rendered September 1, 2010, convicting defendant, upon her plea of guilty, of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree, and sentencing her to a term of five years’ probation, unanimously affirmed.

*595 The court properly denied defendant’s motion to controvert the search warrant that led to the recovery of drugs from defendant’s apartment. Probable cause was established by information provided by a reliable confidential informant regarding two controlled buys personally made by the informant, and sufficiently verified by the police who supervised the buys (see e.g. People v Freeman, 106 AD3d 590 [1st Dept 2013], lv denied 21 NY3d 1073 [2013]; People v Gramson, 50 AD3d 294, 295 [1st Dept 2008], lv denied 11 NY3d 832 [2008]).
