Opinion
June 30, 1998
Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Jeffrey Atlas, J.).
Defendant's motion to dismiss the indictment on the ground of prearrest delay was properly denied as the delay was reasonable in these circumstances and good cause therefor was shown. Moreover, there was no demonstrable prejudice to defendant (People v. Singer, 44 N.Y.2d 241, 252-255; People v. Taranovich, 37 N.Y.2d 442; People v. Brown, 209 A.D.2d 233, lv denied 85 N.Y.2d 860).
