People v. Lesser

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Feb 11, 1960
10 A.D.2d 614 (N.Y. App. Div. 1960)

Opinion

February 11, 1960


Motion for leave to appeal as a poor person from an order of the Court of General Sessions entered November 24, 1959 denying a motion to reargue a coram nobis application. The records of this court demonstrate that essentially the same contentions were raised by defendant and fully considered when the judgment of conviction was unanimously affirmed ( 8 A.D.2d 709). The remedy of coram nobis is unavailable to relitigate issues finally disposed of on a direct appeal from the judgment of conviction. Plainly stated, defendant is not entitled to a second appellate review of the same arguments under the guise of an appeal from the dismissal of a petition for writ of error coram nobis. The motion in all respects is denied.

Concur — Rabin, J.P., M.M. Frank, Valente, McNally and Stevens, JJ.
