DECISION & ORDERApplication by the defendant for a writ of error coram nobis to vacate, on the ground of ineffective assistance of appellate counsel, (1) a decision and order of this Court dated May 3, 2011 ( People v. Clemente, 84 A.D.3d 829, 922 N.Y.S.2d 193 ), affirming a judgment of the Supreme Court, Queens County, rendered April 30, 2008, and (2) a decision and order of this Court dated May 4, 2016 ( People v. Clemente, 139 A.D.3d 751, 30 N.Y.S.3d 880 ), denying branches of his application which were, inter alia, for a writ of error coram nobis to vacate a decision and order of this Court dated May 22, 1989 ( People v. Clemente, 150 A.D.2d 709, 541 N.Y.S.2d 583 ), which reversed an order of the Supreme Court, Queens County, dated March 22, 1988, dismissing the indictment on the ground that he had been deprived of his constitutional right to a speedy trial.
