OPINION OF THE COURT
Memorandum.
The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed. Whether the police officers had reasonable suspicion to handle defendant’s jacket, which defendant dropped right next to him, involves a mixed question of law and fact (see, People v Hicks, 68 NY2d 234, 238). Where the record supports a determination of such reasonable suspicion, it is beyond the scope of further review by this Court (see, People v Diaz, 81 NY2d 106, 108; People v Cloud, 79 NY2d 786, 786-787; People v Burr, 70 NY2d 354, 360-361, cert denied 485 US 989; People v Hicks, 68 NY2d 234, 238,…
