The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v. Rachel A. Fulmer, Appellant.
BRUCE E. TOLBERT
JERRY GARGUILO, JJ.
DECISION & ORDER ON MOTION
Motion by respondent to dismiss an appeal from a judgment of conviction of the District Court of Suffolk County, Suffolk County Traffic and Parking Violations Agency, rendered February 16, 2016.
Upon the papers filed in support of the motion and no papers having been filed in opposition thereto, it is
ORDERED that motion is granted and the appeal is dismissed without prejudice to an application by appellant for an extension of time to file an affidavit of errors (see People v Smith, 52 Misc 3d 143[A], 2016 NY Slip Op 51218[U] [App Term, 2d Dept, 9th & 10th Jud Dists 2016]).
In People v Smith (27 NY3d 643 [2016]), the Court of Appeals held that, for the purpose of taking an appeal, a record made from a mechanical recording is not the equivalent of a record made by a court stenographer and that an affidavit of errors is required for such an appeal to be properly taken.
