Opinion
2008-526 OR CR.
Decided June 2, 2009.
Appeal from a judgment of the Justice Court of the Town of Tuxedo, Orange County (Hume Steyer, J.), rendered February 14, 2008. The judgment convicted defendant, after a nonjury trial, of speeding.
Judgment of conviction affirmed.
PRESENT: RUDOLPH, P.J., MOLIA and SCHEINKMAN, JJ.
Defendant, who was charged with speeding (Vehicle and Traffic Law § 1180 [b]) for driving at 74 miles per hour in a 55 mile per hour zone, appeals from a judgment convicting him, after a nonjury trial.
The Justice Court did not err in denying defendant's motion, made after the People had rested, which sought dismissal upon the ground that the People had not proven which traffic control device he had violated. Defendant was charged with violating a 55 mile per hour speed limit, which is generally the maximum speed limit applicable throughout the State (with exceptions not relevant here), and, thus, it was unnecessary for the People to establish the posting of 55 mile per hour speed limit signs ( see Vehicle and Traffic Law § 1683 [a] [15]; People v Shapiro, 7 NY2d 370; People v Hodos, 186 Misc 2d 841, 843).
The other issues raised herein are similarly lacking in merit.
Accordingly, the judgment of conviction is affirmed.
Rudolph, P.J., Molia and Scheinkman, JJ., concur.
