Opinion
May 28, 1979
In a habeas corpus proceeding, petitioner appeals from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Westchester County, dated July 19, 1978, which dismissed the proceeding. Judgment affirmed, without costs or disbursements. It is well settled that a parole violator is entitled to a prompt parole revocation hearing (Executive Law, § 259-i, subd 3, par [f], cl [i]; People ex rel. Walsh v Vincent, 40 N.Y.2d 1049; Matter of Good v. Hammock, 64 A.D.2d 1011; People ex rel. Royster v. Bombard, 55 A.D.2d 940). This rule however, is of no assistance to petitioner since the record indicates that it was his fault that the revocation hearing was not promptly held. Suozzi, J.P., Lazer, Cohalan and Martuscello, JJ., concur.
