People v. McCallum

Court of Appeals of the State of New York
Jul 8, 1960
168 N.E.2d 514 (N.Y. 1960)

Opinion

Argued May 19, 1960

Decided July 8, 1960

Appeal from the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the Fourth Judicial Department, JACOB A. LATONA, J.

John A. Murray and Gerald W. O'Connor for appellant.

Carman F. Ball, District Attorney ( Leonard F. Walentynowicz of counsel), for respondent.


On his appeal to the Appellate Division, defendant had neither an attorney nor access to the original judgment roll or to the copy of the stenographic minutes of the proceedings of the trial certified by the court stenographer and filed pursuant to section 456 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. This fell below what is required by People v. Kalan ( 2 N.Y.2d 278); People v. Pride ( 3 N.Y.2d 545); People v. Breslin ( 4 N.Y.2d 73); People v. Pitts ( 6 N.Y.2d 288), and People v. Wilson ( 7 N.Y.2d 568), which stem from Griffin v. Illinois ( 351 U.S. 12).

The judgment should be reversed and the case remitted to the Appellate Division for further proceedings in accordance with this opinion.

Chief Judge DESMOND and Judges DYE, FULD, FROESSEL, VAN VOORHIS, BURKE and FOSTER concur.

Judgment reversed, etc.
