People v. Purrell

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Feb 5, 1996
224 A.D.2d 454 (N.Y. App. Div. 1996)

Opinion

February 5, 1996

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Tomei, J.).


Ordered that J. Mitchell Rosenberg, of 420 East 72nd Street, New York, N.Y. 10021, is assigned as counsel to perfect the appeal; and it is further,

Ordered that the People are directed to furnish a copy of the stenographic minutes to the new assigned counsel; and it is further,

Ordered that new counsel shall serve and file a brief on behalf of the defendant within 90 days of the date of this decision and order and the People shall serve and file their brief within 120 days of the date of this decision and order; by prior decision and order of this Court, the defendant was granted leave to prosecute the appeal on the original papers (including the typewritten stenographic minutes) and on the typewritten briefs of the parties, who were directed to file nine copies of their respective briefs and to serve one copy on each other.

Based upon this Court's independent review of the record, we conclude that arguable issues exist with respect, inter alia, to certain hearsay testimony and summation comments pertaining to a $10 bill. Under the circumstances, the motion of the defendant's assigned counsel to be relieved as counsel is granted and new appellate counsel is assigned (see, People v. Gonzalez, 47 N.Y.2d 606; People v. Casiano, 67 N.Y.2d 906; People v. Miller, 99 A.D.2d 1021). Mangano, P.J., Thompson, Altman and Friedmann, JJ., concur.
