People ex Rel. Lawson v. Casscles

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Third Department
Jan 9, 1975
47 A.D.2d 574 (N.Y. App. Div. 1975)

Opinion

January 9, 1975


Application, pursuant to CPLR 7002 (subd. [b], par. 2), for writ of habeas corpus, denied for legal insufficiency. Petitioner's discharge from the care and custody of the Drug Abuse Control Commission was authorized by statute (Mental Health Law, § 81.31). Accordingly, there was no unlawful interruption of his 1973 sentence ( People v. Taylor, 30 N.Y.2d 899). Petitioner's other contentions as to the illegality of his present detention are likewise without merit. Herlihy, P.J., Greenblott, Sweeney, Kane and Main, JJ., concur.
