The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. Victor Ortiz, Appellant

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division's order, holding that the defendant lacked standing to challenge the warrantless entry into his girlfriend's apartment and that the seized cocaine was admissible because the officers had objective, credible reasons to enter. Justice Smith dissented, arguing the defendant did have standing and that the entry and pursuit were unlawful.
