People v. Festa

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Jun 1, 1987
131 A.D.2d 504 (N.Y. App. Div. 1987)

Opinion

June 1, 1987

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Dufficy, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The trial court properly exercised its discretion in summarily denying the defendant's motion to set aside the verdict pursuant to CPL 330.30 (3) on the ground of newly discovered evidence inasmuch as the application neither was in writing and supported by moving papers (CPL 330.40 [a]) nor demonstrated that the evidence "could not have been produced by the defendant at the trial even with due diligence on his part" (CPL 330.30; see, People v Heckstall, 76 A.D.2d 913). Mangano, J.P., Thompson, Kunzeman and Sullivan, JJ., concur.
