DECISION & JUDGMENT
Writ of habeas corpus, inter alia, in the nature of an application to release Essence Wilson on her own recognizance upon Kings County Docket No. CR–009401–20KN.
ADJUDGED that the writ is dismissed, without costs or disbursements.
The petitioner has not demonstrated that the detention of Essence Wilson pursuant to a felony complaint is illegal (see CPLR 7002[a], 7010[a] ; People ex rel. DeLia v. Munsey, 26 N.Y.3d 124, 127–128, 20 N.Y.S.3d 304, 41 N.E.3d 1119 ). Under the circumstances of this case, the People demonstrated good cause for the delay in conducting a preliminary hearing or obtaining an indictment (see CPL 180.80[3] ; Executive Order [Cuomo] No. 202.28; People ex rel. Ciocco v. Dzurenda, 184 A.D.3d 702, 123 N.Y.S.3d 840 ). We note that grand juries are scheduled to begin reconvening in Kings County on August 10, 2020. Disposition of this felony complaint or a preliminary hearing thereon should occur no later than August 17, 2020.
ROMAN, J.P., MILLER, MALTESE and BARROS, JJ., concur.
