4841. PEOPLE res, v. FREEMAN LOVELY, def-ap — Robert S. Dean, Center for Appellate Litigation, New York (Mark W. Zeno of counsel), for ap — Cyrus R. Vance, Jr., District Attorney, New York (Megan DeMarco of counsel), for res — Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Bruce Allen, J.), rendered January 6, 2015, as amended February 17, 2015, convicting defendant, upon his plea of guilty, of attempted criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, and sentencing him, as a second felony offender, to a term of 4 years, unanimously affirmed.

Regardless of whether defendant made a valid waiver of his right to appeal, we find that the court properly denied defendant’s suppression motion. The stop of defendant’s van was lawful even though one of the two bases for the stop mentioned in the officers’ hearing testimony constituted an objectively reasonable mistake of law (see People v. Guthrie, 25 NY3d 130, 138 [2015]), and defendant’s remaining suppression arguments are unavailing.
