People v. Wood

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Third Department
Dec 20, 1965
24 A.D.2d 1041 (N.Y. App. Div. 1965)

Opinion

December 20, 1965


MEMORANDUM BY THE COURT. Defendant's allegations with respect to his interrogation without counsel are insufficient to entitle him to a hearing upon his application in the nature of a writ of error coram nobis, particularly so in the light of the subsequent proceedings in the action. ( People v. Howard, 12 N.Y.2d 65.) Neither do his papers indicate any facts respecting his confession and his subsequent plea of guilty to a reduced charge which would remove the case from the ambit of the rule applied in People v. Nicholson ( 11 N.Y.2d 1067, cert. den. 371 U.S. 929). Likewise insufficient to require a hearing are his allegations in respect of the court's choice of counsel ( People v. Brabson, 9 N.Y.2d 173, 180-181, cert. den. 366 U.S. 930, 369 U.S. 879) and in respect of the supposed inadequacy of the representation afforded him ( People v. Weires, 10 N.Y.2d 1017, cert. den. 370 U.S. 954). Order affirmed. Gibson, P.J., Reynolds, Taylor, Aulisi and Hamm, JJ., concur.
