OPINION OF THE COURT

Memorandum.

The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed.

As there was evidence to support the lower courts’ determination that the police possessed a reasonable suspicion of criminal activity justifying the pursuit of defendant (see, People v Sierra, 83 NY2d 928), the issue is beyond this Court’s further review.

Defendant’s remaining contention that the trial court violated CPL 310.30 by failing to properly respond to a jury question is without merit.

Chief Judge Kaye and Judges Titone, Bellacosa, Smith, Levine, Ciparick and Wesley concur.

Order affirmed in a memorandum.
