People v. Peters

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department
Dec 30, 1992
188 A.D.2d 1037 (N.Y. App. Div. 1992)

Opinion

December 30, 1992

Appeal from the Ontario County Court, Harvey, J.

Present — Callahan, J.P., Pine, Lawton, Boehm and Davis, JJ.


Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: Defendant contends that County Court erred in admitting into evidence the affidavit of regularity and proof of mailing by an employee of the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles responsible for the issuance of suspension and revocation orders, because it was hearsay and violated his constitutional right of confrontation. That affidavit was properly admitted into evidence pursuant to Vehicle and Traffic Law § 214, and its admission did not violate defendant's constitutional right of confrontation (see, People v Kollore, 151 Misc.2d 384, 386-387).

Defendant further contends that County Court erred in refusing his request to charge driving without a license (Vehicle and Traffic Law § 509) as a lesser included offense of aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle in the first degree (Vehicle and Traffic Law § 511). Because there is no reasonable view of the evidence that would support a finding that defendant committed the lesser offense, but not the greater, County Court properly denied defendant's request (see generally, People v Glover, 57 N.Y.2d 61, 64; People v Green, 56 N.Y.2d 427).
