People ex Rel. Harris v. Lindsay

Court of Appeals of the State of New York
Jan 14, 1965
205 N.E.2d 312 (N.Y. 1965)

Opinion

Argued October 14, 1964

Decided January 14, 1965

Appeal from the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the First Judicial Department, JOSEPH A. GAVAGAN, J.

Arnold Schildhaus for appellant.

Frank S. Hogan, District Attorney ( Milton M. Stein and H. Richard Uviller of counsel), for respondents.


Order affirmed. Appellant asserts in this court that she has been convicted for not doing the impossible, in that she has not operated the heating system in her multiple dwelling which she contends she has been financially unable to do on account of the reduction in rents to $1.00 per month per apartment. That, she now asserts, constitutes a denial of due process of law. She has not appealed from her judgment of conviction, but has sought to raise the question by the postconviction remedy of habeas corpus. The petition is too sparse in its statements of fact to serve as the foundation for any relief. The order dismissing her writ is, therefore, affirmed, without prejudice to her position in any new action or proceeding if the facts warrant such relief.

Concur: Chief Judge DESMOND and Judges DYE, FULD, VAN VOORHIS, BURKE and SCILEPPI. Judge BERGAN concurs in the result.
