    The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Tobias Boyland, Appellant.
    Decided November 19, 2012
    
      APPEARANCES OF COUNSEL
    
      David J. Seeger, Buffalo, and Leigh E. Anderson, for appellant.
    
      Frank A. Sedita, III, District Attorney, Buffalo (Donna A. Milling of counsel), for respondent.
   OPINION OF THE COURT

On review of submissions pursuant to section 500.11 of the Rules of the Court of Appeals (22 NYCRR 500.11), order affirmed. Whether a protective sweep is justified under particular circumstances involves a mixed question of law and fact. Where, as here, there exists record support for the Appellate Division’s resolution of this question, the issue is beyond this Court’s further review. Defendant’s remaining claims are without merit.

Concur: Chief Judge Lippman and Judges Ciparick, Graffeo, Read, Smith and Pigott.
