1987(Matter of Donahue v Tofany, 33 AD2d 590 [3d Dept 1969].) Moreover, the results of the breathalyzer are not competent evidence and should not be presented for consideration to the jury unless such test was administered within two hours of defendant’s arrest.

1986At the outset, expert conclusions need not be asserted with certainty, so long as the witness demonstrates a degree of confidence of his conclusions sufficient to satisfy accepted standards of reliability (People v Brown, 67 NY2d 555 ; Matott v Ward, 48 NY2d 455, 459 ).

1983With respect to the admissibility of the results of the human leucocyte antigen blood test, the Legislature has determined that the results of that test are sufficiently reliable to “be received in evidence to aid in the determination of whether the alleged father is or is not the father” (see Family Ct Act, § 532, subd [all- The Family Court’s observation that racial appearances are an arbitrary criterion goes to the weight, but not the admissibility of that evidence (see Matott v Ward, 48 NY2d 455, 462 ).

2020Contrary to defendant's contention, "[t]his testimony amounted to reporting the results of the test, which, once a proper foundation had been laid, was permissible without expert testimony" ( People v Dauphin , 112 AD3d 471 , 472 [2013]; People v Jones , 45 Misc 3d 126 [A], 2014 NY Slip Op 51436[U] [App Term, 1st Dept 2014], lv denied 24 NY3d 1121 [2015]).

2018Additionally, in People v. McGrath , we affirmed the Appellate Division decision holding the two-hour rule inapplicable to section 1194(3) on tests obtained by court orders ( see 135 A.D.2d 60 , 62, 524 N.Y.S.2d 214 [2d Dept. 1988], affd for reasons stated below 73 N.Y.2d 826 , 537 N.Y.S.2d 480 , 534 N.E.2d 318 [1988] ["Nothing in the unambiguous language of [ section 1194(2)(a) ] indicates that the Legislature intended to impose a specific time limitation on the performance of court-ordered chemical tests.

2018Additionally, in People v McGrath , we affirmed the Appellate Division decision holding the two-hour rule inapplicable to section 1194 (3) on tests obtained by court orders ( see 135 AD2d 60, 62 [2d Dept 1988], affd for reasons stated below 73 NY2d 826 [1988] ["Nothing in the unambiguous language of (section 1194 [2] [a]) indicates that the Legislature intended to impose a specific time limitation on the performance of court-ordered chemical tests.

2009S., 100 AD2d 119 [2d Dept 1984] [upholding use of the tests against a self-incrimination claim]).

1984S., 100 AD2d 119 .) While scientific reliability for this test, for the 60% of excludable males in fact excluded by it, has been recognized by our highest court (cf. Little v Streater, supra), 4 three important conclusions did not flow from its raw data: First, that all putative fathers not so excluded were inferentially included; second, that all males who might be excluded by any test whatsoever were in fact excluded by this test; third that the results of this test had any credibility as positive evidence of paternity.

2008Significantly, this is not a case where the expert ‘essentially served as [a] conduit for the testimony of the report’s author[ ]’ by doing nothing more than ‘dictating the report’s contents’ and, thus, exceeded the bounds of permissible opinion testimony (People v Wlasiuk, 32 AD3d at 681 ).

2004(See also Sharon GG. u Duane HH., 95 AD2d 466 [3d Dept 1983].) However, the circumstances outlined in FF. and Fung have little relevance in a case such as this, where the test results, whatever they are, will not result in the illegitimating of the child.

2004In Fung v Fung ( supra ), the Court did not allow a blood test where the husband had waited an inordinately long time to raise the issue of his paternity, and where the results of the test could have illegitimated the child without settling the issue of paternity. ( See also Sharon GG. v Duane HH. , 95 AD2d 466 [3d Dept 1983].) However, the circumstances outlined in FF. and Fung have little relevance in a case such as this, where the test results, whatever they are, will not result in the illegitimating of the child.

1994This version was discussed in passing in Matter of Enriquillo S., a drug case (NYLJ, May 20, 1994, at 22, col 6), the court indicating that report to be nonhearsay (see also, Matter of Rodney J., supra).

1994As a result, the petition does not contain sufficient non-hearsay allegations and must be dismissed as jurisdiction-ally defective on its face (Matter of Wesley M., supra; Matter of Rodney J., 83 NY2d 503, 507 ; Matter of Andy B., 205 AD2d 361 ).

1994Petitioner’s contention that there was ample time to permit him to contact his attorney misinterprets the two-hour limitation provided by Vehicle and Traffic Law § 1194, which is solely for the purpose of qualifying the results of the test for admission into evidence and not to permit an individual to delay his test (Matter of Viger v Passidomo, 65 NY2d 705 , 707; Matter of White v Fisher, 49 AD2d 450, 451 ).

1978(Matter of White v Fisher, 49 AD2d 450 ; Matter of Dobbins v Tofany, 38 AD2d 870 ; Matter of Donahue v Tofany, 33 AD2d 590 , mot for lv to app den 25 NY2d 744 ; Matter of Neet v Hults, 26 AD2d 970 .) Nor is Matter of Jentzen v Tofany ( 33 AD2d 532 ) relied on by petitioner, to the contrary.

1986Analysis of this issue begins with the observation that the reliability of breathalyzer instruments has long been recog nized, and if a foundation is laid demonstrating that the test was properly administered, the results of the test are admissible (People v Gower, 42 NY2d 117 ; People v Ippolito, 100 AD2d 734 ; People v Donaldson, 36 AD2d 37 ).

1986It is well settled that as a foundational requirement for the admission of breathalyzer test results, evidence must be introduced both that the breathalyzer was in proper working condition when the test was given to defendant, and that the chemicals used in the test were of the proper kind and in the proper proportion (People v Freeland, 68 NY2d 699 ; People v Todd, 38 NY2d 755 ; People v Donaldson, supra; People v Meikrantz, 77 Misc 2d 892 ).

1983Although the burden is upon the People to establish initially that a breath test was properly conducted in order for the results of such test to be admissible (see People v Todd, 38 NY2d 755 ; Miller v Farina, 58 AD2d 731 ; People v Meikrantz, supra, pp 898-899 ), here the issue is whether radio interference so impairs the accuracy of breathalyzer model 900A as to render that instrument generally unreliable.

1986Moreover, inasmuch as there was no evidence that any man other than the appellant had sexual intercourse with the petitioner during the critical period (cf. Matter of Jane PP. v Paul QQ., 65 NY2d 994 , 996), the petitioner met her burden of proof in establishing, by clear and convincing evidence, that the appellant was the father of the child (see, Matter of Commissioner of Social Servs. [Patricia A.] v Philip De G., 59 NY2d 137, 141-142 ).

1984It obviously cannot reverse or nullify the findings of fact made after consideration of classic evidence received at the trial. decision: In a paternity proceeding, the burden is on the petitioner “to establish paternity by ‘clear and convincing’ evidence * * * which is ‘entirely satisfactory’ and creates a genuine belief that respondent is the father of the child” (Matter of Commissioner of Social Servs. [Patricia A.] v Philip De G., 59 NY2d 137,141-142 ).

1984(Matter of Alicia C. v Evaristo G., 93 AD2d 820 [1983].) Since Matter of Alicia C. v Evaristo G. (supra), various other challenges have been presented to the courts and the courts in those cases have essentially found that the results of the test as submitted by NYBC indicating a high percentage of probability of paternity together with the testimony obtained during the-trial established respondent’s paternity. 3 Of course, in those cases the degree of reliance by the lower courts on the HLA results can never be determined.

1983You could not combine the two tables and come up with an honest calculation.’ ” Judge Fogarty found the HLA results were not based on reliable information and thus not admissible, reasoning, “A plausibility of paternity of 98.5% (very likely) cannot be accepted when use of a possible different chart would produce a 54% probability.” (Supra, p 567.) Initially, it is noted that the order in Matter of Alicia C. (supra), was reversed by the Appellate Division, Second Department ( 93 AD2d 820 , 821), which stated cryptically, “With respect to the admissibility of the results of the human leucocyte

1975Upon the evidence, respondent had the right to determine that petitioner’s conduct constituted a refusal to submit to the statutory test (Matter of Dobbins v Tofany, 38 AD2d 870 ; Matter of Donahue v Tofany, 33 AD2d 590 ; Matter of Neet v Hults, 26 AD2d 970 ).

1855(Story’s Conf. of Laws, § 291, 292; Chapman v. Robbins, 6 Paige, 627 ; Gibbs v. Fremont, 9 Welsby, Hurlstone & Gordon, 25.) It is unnecessary to notice the distinctions which have been made where a contract has been entered into in one country to be performed in another, or where a bill of exchange has been drawn at one place and endorsed in another jurisdiction ; for the contract in this case was to be performed in this state, in which it was made.

1855This results from the principle already stated that the lex loci contractus furnishes the rule by which the validity of the contract is to be determined; and the doctrine is well settled.

2024Suppression of Physical Evidence (Mapp) An inventory search of an impounded vehicle is an exception to the warrant requirement ( Colorado v Bertine , 479 U.S. 367 [1987]; People v Galak , 80 NY2d 715 [1993]).

2024If the defendant succeeds in suppressing his statement regarding his ownership and operation of the 2013 white Hyundai Gensis, the defendant has leave to renew his motion to controvert the search warrant inasmuch as a statement by a defendant in violation of Miranda cannot be considered in assessing probable cause. (see People v Jackson , 88 AD3d 451 [1st Dept 2011]; People v Wahhab , 84 AD3d 982 [2nd Dept 2011].) Relatedly, the defendant moves to suppress the results of the analysis of the defendant's blood sample and any testimony related thereto on several other grounds.
