WHETHER THE POLICE RECEIVED VOLUNTARY CONSENT TO ENTER AN APARTMENT IS A MIXED QUESTION OF LAW AND FACT WHICH THE COURT OF APPEALS WILL NOT REVIEW, TWO CONCURRING OPINIONS DEALT WITH AN ISSUE WHICH WAS NOT RAISED, WHETHER THE POLICE WENT TO THE APARTMENT INTENDING TO MAKE A WARRANTLESS ARREST (CT APP).

The Court of Appeals, over two concurring opinions, determined that it could not review whether the police received voluntary consent to enter an apartment because it is a mixed question of law and fact and there is support in the record for the motion court's ruling. The concurring opinions dealt with an issue which was not raised below or on appeal—whether the police went to the apartment with the intent to make a warrantless arrest:

The determination as to whether police received voluntary consent to enter the apartment is a mixed question of law and fact … . “Although the voluntariness of the consent is open to dispute, our power to review affirmed findings of fact is limited. Since the finding of the trial court is supported by the record, we are precluded from upsetting it”… . As our concurring colleagues acknowledge, defendant did not contend below and does not contend on this appeal that his arrest was unlawful because the police went to his home with the intent of making a warrantless arrest. People v Xochimitl, 2018 NY Slip Op 06053, CtApp 9-13-18
