THE LEGAL AID BUREAU OF BUFFALO, INC., BUFFALO (BARBARA J. DAVIES OF COUNSEL), FOR DEFENDANT-APPELLANT.

FRANK J. CLARK, DISTRICT ATTORNEY, BUFFALO (DONNA A. MILLING OF COUNSEL), FOR PLAINTIFF-RESPONDENT.

Before: Pigott, Jr., P.J., Green, Gorski, Pine and Lawton, JJ.


It is hereby ordered that the judgment so appealed from be and the same hereby is unanimously affirmed.

Memorandum: Defendant appeals from a judgment convicting him upon a jury verdict of, inter alia, two counts of burglary in the second degree (Penal Law § 140.25), and one count each of arson in the second degree (§ 150.15), and assault in the third degree (§ 120.00 [1]). Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the People ( see People v. Contes, 60 NY2d 620, 621), we conclude that the evidence is legally sufficient to sustain the conviction of burglary, arson, and assault ( see generally People v. Bleakley, 69 NY2d 490, 495). Contrary to the further contention of defendant, County Court did not err in failing to conduct a hearing on his CPL 30.30 motion. Because the People met their statutory obligation by declaring their readiness for trial two days after the court declared a mistrial ( see CPL 30.30), the court had a factual basis on which to make the necessary findings on defendant's motion, and no hearing was necessary ( cf. People v. Santos, 68 NY2d 859, 861). The sentence is not unduly harsh or severe. We have reviewed defendant's remaining contention and conclude that it is without merit.
