THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK v. MAURICE KINSEY (2026)

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

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. MAURICE KINSEY, Defendant–Appellant.

6336

Decided: April 14, 2026

Moulton, J.P., Friedman, González, Shulman, Rosado, JJ.

Twyla Carter, The Legal Aid Society, New York (Mary–Kathryn Smith of counsel), for appellant.

Darcel D. Clark, District Attorney, Bronx (Larry Glasser of counsel), for respondent.

Judgment, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Shari R. 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.

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 (see People v. Meran, 143 AD3d 423, 424 [1st Dept 2016], lv denied 28 NY3d 1074 [2016] ).
