OPINION OF THE COURT
Chief Judge Kaye.
In People v Darden (34 NY2d 177, 181), the Court held that when information obtained from a confidential informant is necessary to establish probable cause, it would be “fair and wise” for the People to “be required to make the informer available for interrogation before the Judge” in an ex parte hearing. The question before us today is whether Darden established a requirement, or merely a procedure to be allowed in the discretion of the trial court. We reiterate that a Darden hearing is a requirement rather than a matter of discretion.
