Opinion
Argued April 1, 1998
Decided May 14, 1998
Appeal from the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the Second Judicial Department.
Frank J. Loss, New York City, Rosali Vazquez and Daniel L. Greenberg for appellant.
Michael D. Hess, Corporation Counsel of New York City (Elizabeth S. Natrella and Leonard Koerner of counsel), for respondent.
MEMORANDUM.
The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed.
Defendant argues that he did not receive a prompt probation revocation hearing (see, CPL 410.70) and that the trial court unreasonably delayed his sentencing (see, CPL 380.30). We disagree. Trial courts have considerable discretion in administering litigation and in managing their dockets. Given this discretion, the time between the filing of the declaration of delinquency and the final hearing was not unreasonable as a matter of law. Similarly, the shorter period between the final hearing and the sentencing was not unreasonable as a matter of law.
Chief Judge KAYE and Judges TITONE, BELLACOSA, SMITH, LEVINE, CIPARICK and WESLEY concur.
Order affirmed in a memorandum.
