3824. PEOPLE, res, v. ELI AUSLANDER, def-ap — Gallet Dreyer & Berkey, LLP, New York (Roger L. Stavis of counsel), for ap — Cyrus R. Vance, Jr., District Attorney, New York (Brian R. Pouliot of counsel), for res — Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Edward J. McLaughlin, J.), rendered July 15, 2016, convicting defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, and sentencing him to a term of 3 years, unanimously affirmed.

The court properly determined that probable cause existed for the issuance of the search warrants at issue. Although defendant challenges the proof of the reliability of the registered confidential informant, the warrant affidavit satisfied the requirement of a “minimum, reasonable showing that the informant was reliable” (People v. Griminger, 71 NY2d 635, 639 [1988]). The affiant, who was entitled to rely on information from fellow officers where applicable, provided specific information about how the informant had assisted the police in several ways that tended to demonstrate his ongoing reliability. The affiant had also met the informant personally, and had verified some of the information he provided.
