Michels, J. on motion to controvert the search warrant; James McCarty, J. at plea and sentencing), rendered December 3, 2019, convicting defendant of attempted criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, and sentencing him to five years of probation, unanimously affirmed.</p> <p>Regardless of whether the appeal waiver was valid, we find, based on our in camera review of the sealed materials, that there was probable cause to issue the search warrant. We decline to revisit this Court's prior order, which denied defendant's motion to vacate the protective order and to provide him with copies of the unredacted search warrant materials (<i>see</i> <i>People v Meran</i>, 143 AD3d 423, 424 [1st Dept 2016], <i>lv denied</i> 28 NY3d 1074 [2016]).</p> <p>THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.</p> <p>ENTERED: April 14, 2026</p> </div>
