Opinion
September 14, 1998
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Tomei, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
While driving a van which had no license plates and a yellow piece of paper or cardboard marked "in-transit" affixed to the left rear window, the defendant was directed by a police officer to pull over. At the pretrial hearing, the defendant did not argue, as he does now, that the police officer did not possess reasonable suspicion sufficient to direct him to pull over and, therefore, the "seizure" of the defendant was illegal. Accordingly, this claim is unpreserved for appellate review ( see, CPL 470.05; People v. Martin, 50 N.Y.2d 1029, 1030-1031; People v. Smith, 108 A.D.2d 763).
The defendant's remaining contention is similarly unpreserved for appellate review.
Rosenblatt, J. P., Ritter, Copertino and Florio, JJ., concur.
