People v. Russell

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Jan 30, 1997
235 A.D.2d 364 (N.Y. App. Div. 1997)

Opinion

January 30, 1997.

Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Leslie Crocker Snyder, J.), entered on or about June 20, 1995, which denied defendant's motion to vacate judgment, unanimously affirmed.

Before: Murphy, P. J., Milonas, Nardelli and Andrias, JJ.


Defendant's procedurally improper (CPL 440.10 [c]) and substantively meritless ( Matter of Haynes v Johnson,

165 AD2d 406) motion to vacate his judgment of conviction was properly denied. The People's delay, if any, in serving and filing a response did not entitle defendant to have his motion granted on default (CPL 440.30). Defendant's remaining contentions are without merit.
