People v. Collier

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
May 2, 1978
63 A.D.2d 562 (N.Y. App. Div. 1978)

Opinion

May 2, 1978


Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County, rendered June 26, 1975, convicting defendant after jury trial of two counts of robbery, second degree, grand larceny, third degree, assault, second degree, and possession of a weapon, fourth degree, unanimously modified, on the law, to reverse the larceny and assault convictions and dismiss those counts of the indictment, and otherwise affirmed. On the facts of this case, defendant could not have committed the robbery without also committing the grand larceny and assault. Those are inclusory and concurrent counts (CPL 300.30, subd 4). "Where the verdict is comprised of inclusory concurrent counts a verdict of guilty on the greatest count is deemed a dismissal of every lesser count (CPL 300.40, subd 3, par [b])." (People v Grier, 37 N.Y.2d 847, 848.) We have examined the other points urged by appellant and find them without merit.

Concur — Lupiano, J.P., Fein, Lane, Markewich and Sullivan, JJ.
