MEMORANDUM:
The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed.
That court specifically affirmed the hearing court's finding that
defendant's statements were not the product of custodial
interrogation. The court's ruling constitutes adetermination on a
mixed question of law and fact and, inasmuch as there is support in
the record for the determination, it is beyond further review by this
Court. Thus, the statements made by defendant in response to the
questions of a police officer on the street were admissible despite
the lack of prior Miranda warnings.

Bellacosa, Smith, Levine, Ciparick and Wesley concur.
