DECISION & ORDER

*1  Defendant moves for an order, pursuant to CPL §§690 and 710, controverting the search warrants and suppressing all physical evidence obtained upon their execution. Alternatively, defendant seeks a Franks/Alfinito hearing. Upon consideration of the defendant’s moving papers, the People’s opposition papers, the affidavit in support of the search warrant and the warrant itself, defendant’s motion is hereby denied.

When the officers rang the front doorbell, defendant exited the apartment through the rear door. While pursuing defendant, Detective Skulsky observed what appeared to be blood on both the front door of the apartment and one of the living room walls.
