Submitted November 1, 1999
December 20, 1999
In a habeas corpus proceeding, the petitioner appeals from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Dutchess County (Marlow, J.), dated June 25, 1998, which denied the petition and dismissed the proceeding.
Daniel Maldonado, Stormville, N.Y., appellant pro se.
Eliot L. Spitzer, Attorney-General, New York, N.Y. (Robert A. Forte and Mary Lynn Nicolas of counsel), for respondent.
GUY JAMES MANGANO, P.J., DAVID S. RITTER, GLORIA GOLDSTEIN and HOWARD MILLER, JJ.
DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
The issue raised in this proceeding could have been reviewed on direct appeal from the judgment of conviction. In addition, the petitioner's CPL article 440 motion, based on the same ground as that raised in the petition, was previously denied, and leave to appeal therefrom was denied. Accordingly, habeas corpus is not an appropriate remedy (see, People ex rel. Smith v. Hanslmaier, 237 A.D.2d 473; People ex rel. Benbow v. Scully, 189 A.D.2d 844 ; People ex rel. Jackson v. Scully, 183 A.D.2d 799 ; People ex rel. Heath v. Riley, 171 A.D.2d 768 ).
MANGANO, P.J., RITTER, GOLDSTEIN, and H. MILLER, JJ., concur.
