Opinion
July 1, 2005.
Before: Pigott, Jr., P.J., Scudder, Gorski, Pine and Lawton, JJ.
Motion for writ of error coram nobis denied. Memorandum: The period of time from defendant's arrest to the commencement of trial was not so excessive as to constitute a violation of appellant's constitutional right to a speedy trial ( see CPL 30.20). Nor has defendant shown any prejudice by reason of such delay. Appellate counsel's failure to raise a constitutional speedy trial issue on appeal consequently did not deprive appellant of his right to meaningful representation ( see People v. Stultz, 2 NY3d 277, rearg denied 3 NY3d 702).
