Opinion
July 11, 1986
Appeal from the Monroe County Court, Celli, J.
Present — Dillon, P.J., Callahan, Boomer, Balio and Lawton, JJ.
Judgment unanimously modified, on the law, by reversing defendant's conviction of the crime of making a punishable false written statement, dismissing that count of the indictment, and vacating sentence imposed thereon, and otherwise judgment affirmed. Memorandum: Defendant's conviction of making a false written statement (Penal Law § 210.45) must be reversed as it was based solely on the testimony of a single witness without any independent corroborative proof (Penal Law § 210.50; People v Le Mieux, 51 N.Y.2d 981; People v Skibinski, 55 A.D.2d 48). We have considered defendant's remaining contentions and find them without merit.
