Appeal Book Endorsement
1The appellant argues that there were no grounds to arrest him and no basis to issue a search warrant. We disagree.
2The trial judge properly considered the Debot criteria. There was ample basis for the arrest and issuance of the warrant based on the police surveillance evidence.
3The trial judge made no errors in fixing the sentence and there is no basis for concluding that there is any error in calculating pre-trial custody.
4The appeals from conviction and sentence are dismissed.
