DEFENDANT HAD STANDING TO CONTEST THE SEARCH, MATTER REMITTED FOR A SUPPRESSION HEARING BECAUSE AN APPELLATE COURT CANNOT CONSIDER A MATTER NOT RULED UPON BELOW.

The Second Department determined Supreme Court erred in finding defendant did not have standing to contest the search of a van. The court explained that it could not consider the merits of the suppression motion because the merits were not ruled upon by the court below. The options for handling this scenario were explained in some detail. The court opted to hold the appeal in abeyance and remit the matter for a suppression hearing:

This Court has deemed it appropriate to reverse or modify the judgment of conviction, rather than holding the appeal in abeyance, where no purpose would be served by holding the appeal and directing that a new determination be made. This is the case, for example, where a determination of the alternative issue would not change the ultimate determination of the suppression motion … , or where the trial court has already determined the alternative issue in the defendant’s favor, in which case the issue would, in all likelihood, be decided in the defendant’s favor again, and thus would remain unreviewable after remittal … . However, where, as here, the alternative issue raised by the People on appeal has not been determined by the trial court, and the resolution of that issue could affect the determination of the suppression motion, we deem it appropriate to hold the defendant’s appeal in abeyance and remit the matter for consideration of the alternative issue. People v Chazbani, 2016 NY Slip Op 07337, 2nd Dept 11-9-16
