People ex Rel. Buckley v. Bentley

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Fourth Department
May 11, 1990
161 A.D.2d 1202 (N.Y. App. Div. 1990)

Opinion

May 11, 1990

Appeal from the Chautauqua County Court, Adams, J.

Present — Denman, J.P., Boomer, Pine, Davis and Lowery, JJ.


Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: The court correctly dismissed relator's writ of habeas corpus challenging a warrant for his extradition to Pennsylvania. Relator's uncorroborated testimony that he was not in the demanding state on the date of the crime and his attacks on the credibility of a witness did not constitute conclusive proof that he was not a fugitive (cf., People ex rel. Higley v. Millspaw, 281 N.Y. 441, 447). We find no abuse of discretion in the denial of relator's discovery motion (see, CPLR 408, 7001).
