People ex Rel. Wilson v. Kelly

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department
Jul 7, 1988
142 A.D.2d 989 (N.Y. App. Div. 1988)

Opinion

July 7, 1988

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Wyoming County, Dadd, J.

Present — Callahan, J.P., Doerr, Green, Balio and Davis, JJ.


Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: Relator appeals from a judgment which dismissed his habeas corpus petition seeking a recalculation of time served on a vacated sentence. Since relator is now incarcerated in a Federal prison and is no longer in State custody, he is not entitled to a writ of habeas corpus because the relief requested would not result in his immediate release from prison (see, People ex rel. Lane v. Vincent, 32 N.Y.2d 940). Accordingly, we treat this matter as a CPLR article 78 proceeding (see, CPLR 103 [c]; People ex rel. Gonzalez v. Smith, 104 A.D.2d 725).

We agree with Special Term that respondent properly calculated petitioner's sentence on a 1983 robbery conviction to run consecutively to the undischarged portion of his sentence on a 1962 manslaughter conviction (see, Penal Law § 70.25 [2-a]; Matter of Keffer v. Wilkinson, 122 A.D.2d 475). After petitioner's robbery conviction was reversed (see, People v. Wilson, 106 A.D.2d 146), respondent correctly determined that petitioner's new sentence on that charge commenced on March 23, 1983, the date petitioner was returned to the New York State Department of Correction as a parole violator (see, Penal Law § 70.30). Accordingly, petitioner received all the jail time to which he was entitled and the petition, as converted, must be dismissed.
