Opinion

October 9, 1961


In a habeas corpus proceeding, relator appeals from an order of the Supreme Court, Dutchess County, entered December 21, 1959, dismissing the writ after a hearing. Order affirmed, without costs. After relator had been indicted by the Grand Jury, there was no necessity to take him before a Magistrate pursuant to section 165 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The failure to do so prior to the indictment did not divest the Grand Jury of jurisdiction to indict (cf. People ex rel. Hirschberg v. Close, 1 N.Y.2d 258). The record discloses that relator is detained by virtue of a final judgment of a competent court of criminal jurisdiction. Hence, the writ was properly dismissed (Civ. Prac. Act, § 1231; People ex rel. Branton v. Jackson, 6 A.D.2d 916, affd. 6 N.Y.2d 784). Nolan, P.J., Beldock, Ughetta, Kleinfeld and Brennan, JJ., concur.
