Opinion
No. 2869.
February 26, 2008.
Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Brenda Soloff, J.), entered on or about June 22, 2007, which denied petitioner's application for a writ of habeas corpus and dismissed the proceeding, unanimously affirmed, without costs.
The petition was improperly brought in a county other than the county of incarceration ( see Matter of Hogan v Culkin, 18 NY2d 330). Furthermore, petitioner's challenge to the validity of his criminal conviction may not be raised by way of habeas corpus ( see e.g. People ex rel. Grant v Scully, 190 AD2d 543, appeal dismissed 92 NY2d 946), and is meritless in any event.
