PEOPLE v. ABRON (2000)

County Court properly denied the motion of defendant to suppress physical evidence seized from his residence.   The information supplied by the confidential informant to the police investigator who applied for the warrant established probable cause to believe that cocaine was being sold at defendant's residence.   The observations of the informant during two controlled buys at defendant's residence establish his basis of knowledge (see, People v. Diaz, 231 A.D.2d 915, 647 N.Y.S.2d 321, lv. denied 89 N.Y.2d 921, 654 N.Y.S.2d 723, 677 N.E.2d 295).   Those observations were corroborated by the investigator who monitored those controlled buys, thus establishing the reliability of the informant's information (see, People v. Diaz, supra;  People v. Ford, 204 A.D.2d 859, 860, 612 N.Y.S.2d 456, lv. denied 84 N.Y.2d 825, 617 N.Y.S.2d 146, 641 N.E.2d 167).

Judgment unanimously affirmed.
