Opinion
December 18, 1967
Appeal by relator from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Clinton County, which dismissed, after a hearing, a writ of habeas corpus and remanded him to custody. Relator was sentenced to 20 years to life for murder in the second degree, and one day to life for sodomy first degree. He challenges the latter sentence for failure to comply with section 2189-a of the Penal Law. The minimum sentence imposed upon the conviction for murder has not yet expired. Accordingly, the application was properly dismissed as premature (CPLR 7002, subd. [a]; McNally v. Hill, 293 U.S. 131; People ex rel. Metz v. Fay, 11 A.D.2d 1067; People ex rel. Young v.
